Slow to join a meeting

When I join someone's Zoom room for the first time, it takes a loooong time to connect—like about 2-3 minutes. After that first time joining, Zoom joins the room in about 10 seconds. I am using the latest version of the Zoom app 6.1.11 (39163) on a 2023 MacBook Air (Apple M2 chip), running Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1.

At various times I have tried closing all open apps, restarting my computer, and restarting the Zoom app. Is there something else I can try?

Thanks!

Josh
