Choose How to Join the Meeting
When the Zoom page loads, you’ll be given two options:
Option 1: Open the Zoom App (Recommended)
If you already have the Zoom app installed, click “Open Zoom Meetings” when prompted. This will automatically open the meeting in the app.
If you don’t have the app installed, Zoom will prompt you to download it. Follow the steps to download and install the app (this is a one-time setup). Once installed, reopen the link, and click “Open Zoom Meetings.”
Option 2: Join from Your Browser
