System Requirements

At the minimum, you need a modern computer or device that meets either the computer requirements or mobile device requirements. For the best experience:

  • You need a stable internet connection. If possible, consider a wired connection over a wireless connection.
  • Use a headset or earbuds to avoid feedback or echo during meetings; please mute your mic or phone when not speaking.
  • If your computer doesn't have a microphone, consider purchasing either an external webcam with a built-in microphone or an external microphone. You can always try a pair of corded earbuds from a mobile phone to see if its microphone will work.  As a last resort, you can also dial into a Zoom meeting with a phone.
  • Keep your Zoom software up-to-date.
