Welcome to the Zoom Community, @Todd Royal!
You can join a Zoom meeting right from your browser without downloading the app.
Just head to https://zoom.us/join, enter the meeting ID, and click Join. If you’re prompted to open or download the Zoom app, simply cancel the prompt. You should then see Join from your browser.
If you don’t see that option, the host may need to enable “Show a ‘Join from your browser’ link” in their settings.
One thing to note: browser joining is available on desktop browsers. If you’re joining from a mobile device, you’ll need the Zoom app.
