How to Install Zoom on Your Laptop

Installing Zoom on your laptop is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. Whether you're looking to join a meeting or start one of your own, this guide will walk you through the simple process of setting up Zoom on your laptop.

To get started, head to the Zoom website and click the 'Sign Up, it's free' button at the top-right corner of the page. From here, you'll be prompted to enter your email address and date of birth using the drop-down boxes provided. If you're already using a Zoom PWA, simply click the 'Sign Up Free' button located in the grey box on the left side of the page.

Once you've entered your information, click the blue 'Create Account' button to continue with the sign-up process. You'll then be taken to a welcome screen that will guide you through completing your account creation.

One important note for educators: if you're signing up on behalf of a school or organization that provides educational services to children under the age of 18, make sure to check the box on the page before clicking 'Create Account'.

After creating your account, you'll be taken to your Zoom dashboard where you can host, schedule, or join meetings. To join a meeting, simply type in the Meeting ID and click the 'Join' button.

Alternatively, if you want to start your own meeting, click the orange 'New Meeting' button to launch into a fresh call where you'll be the host. You can then invite others to join by connecting your audio and video and using the big, beautiful buttons in the center of the app.

That's it! With these simple steps, you'll have Zoom installed on your laptop and be ready to start hosting or joining meetings.
