Zoom Updates Mac App With Important Security Fix

Tip: occasional or casual users of Zoom do not have to install the Zoom client. Zoom will run in most web browsers with no downloads or installations needed.

Simply follow the conference link sent out by the conference organizer. Then wait until a "Join in browser" link appears in the browser window. If Zoom automatically downloads a software installer, avoid clicking on the installer and move it to the Trash.

Sometimes the "Join in browser" link doesn't appear automatically. If so, try clicking on the Join Meeting button (yes, even though you haven't installed the Zoom software).

You’d use it if keeping your job depended on it. Boss calls a Zoom meeting and you say, “Sorry, Zoom is a plague and I refuse to use it.” Yeah, right you would.

This.

People "refusing to use Zoom" are the same people with whom no one is trying to meet.

Still a terrible app that I cannot believe businesses use for remote video work. Figure all that data recorded on Chinese servers being mined.

Hate to break the news, but all of the so-called video teleconference / meeting apps suck. In my experience Zoom sucks the least or it allows you to almost do what you need to.

not surprised ~ zoom is a plague; refuse to use it

People with real jobs use Zoom. It’s better than all other video conferencing apps. That’s why most businesses use it.
