To join a Zoom meeting, follow these steps:
Section 1: Getting Set Up with Zoom Before you can join a meeting, you'll need to get Zoom set up on your computer or mobile device. Here's how:
- If you'll be using Zoom frequently, download the Zoom app. This will give you full access to all of Zoom's features. Go to zoom.us and click "Download" under "Zoom Client for Meetings." Install the app on your device once the download is complete.
- If this is your first time using Zoom, you can join a meeting without downloading the app. Just make sure you have the latest version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari web browser on your computer. On a mobile device, you can join a meeting via the Zoom mobile app or your web browser. The app can be downloaded from the App Store (iPhone and iPad) or Google Play Store (Android devices).
Section 2: Joining a Meeting Now comes the fun part—actually joining a meeting. Follow these steps:
- On a computer: Open the Zoom desktop app or web browser. Click "Join a Meeting" if prompted. Otherwise, go to zoom.us. Enter the meeting ID provided by the meeting host/organizer. The meeting ID is a 9, 10, or 11-digit number. Click "Join."
- On a mobile device: Open the Zoom mobile app. Tap "Join a Meeting." Enter the meeting ID and tap "Join Meeting." If prompted, enter the meeting passcode provided by the host.
That's all there is to it! You should now be joining the meeting. A few things to keep in mind:
- You may need to enter your name so the host knows who is joining.
- The host may require a passcode. This will be provided to you ahead of time.
- If you join before the host, you may be placed in a waiting room. Don't worry—the host will admit you once the meeting begins.
