Do I need to download Zoom on my computer?

The answer to the question of whether or not you need to download Zoom on your computer depends on how you plan to use Zoom. If you plan to use Zoom for video conferencing, then yes, you do need to download Zoom on your computer. The Zoom app allows you to join video conferences, share your screen, and more. If you plan to just use Zoom for audio calls, such as for a meeting or phone call, then you can use the Zoom web client or join a meeting directly from the Zoom app on your mobile device. However, if you plan to use Zoom for video conferencing, then you should download the Zoom app on your computer.

In addition to downloading the Zoom app on your computer, you should also make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements needed to run Zoom. The minimum system requirements for Zoom vary depending on your operating system and the type of meeting you are joining. For example, if you are running Windows 8 or higher, you will need a minimum of 4GB of RAM and an Intel Core i5 processor. Zoom also works best with Chrome or Firefox browsers.

To summarize, if you plan to use Zoom for video conferencing, then you will need to download the Zoom app on your computer and make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements needed to run Zoom. If you plan to just use Zoom for audio calls, then you can use the Zoom web client or join a meeting from the Zoom app on your mobile device.
