Join My Meeting via Browser in zoom app

As soon as you register or host a meeting with Zoom through Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari, you will be prompted to open the Zoom application via the dialog box that appears.

Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox support the option of automatically opening links with Zoom, but Safari does not support this option at the moment.

Google Chrome

• Click on the Chrome icon.

• You can join Zoom by visiting join.zoom.us.

• If the host or organizer has provided you with your meeting ID, please enter it here.

• Please click the Join button.

• Please click on Zoom Meetings on a PC or Zoom.us on a Mac and then click on Open Zoom Meetings. When you try to launch Zoom from a web browser, you will be prompted to click on this option every time.

Mozilla Firefox

• Click on the Firefox icon.

• Visit the Zoom website at join.zoom.us to get started.

• If the host or organizer has provided you with your meeting ID, please enter it here.

  • Check the box marked Remember my choice for zoommtg links in the future in order to skip this step.

  • Open the link by clicking on it.

Safari

• You need to open Safari in your browser.

Issues with the Zoom Launcher plug-in 

In some cases, the plugins may not be installed, or may not be properly activated, or may not be correctly disabled, or may have been installed correctly but failed to function. As a result of this, you may have to do a few things to make sure the problem is resolved: Check if the Zoom Launcher Plugin is enabled (re-enable it if it was disabled)

Safari

The majority of plug-ins are no longer supported by Safari. In order to launch Zoom each time, you will need to select the option to launch it.

Internet Explorer 

1. Internet Explorer does not have a Zoom plugin installed.

2. It will automatically launch a file named zoom_launcher.exe on your system.

The following steps can be taken if you were able to enable it but it has continued to download every time that you tried to use it:

• If you have any instances of Firefox or Chrome (shadow) running, open the task manager and kill them all

• The zoom launcher plugin should be removed when you restart Firefox/Chrome

• In the web browser (zoom.us), click ‘host a meeting’ and it should reload the Zoom plugin for you
