Anyone else noticing how slow Zoom is to open a meeting since the last upgrade?
2021-09-29 05:39 AM
Hi @Van_Raath
I have not noticed any specific problems. What type of computer or device are you using?

Hi
yes I have the same issue since the last update to version: 5.7.8 (1247).
I never had such issue, and now every meeting takes 1 min (I timed it) to load.
I'm running zoom on a windows10 (1909) laptop and same on various network connectivity (wi-fi or ethernet, from work or from home).
2021-10-04 09:52 PM
Well, at least it isn't just me then! Hopefully someone from Zoom can help to sort this out 🙂

Hi - yes for me too! I just entered this forum to raise this question. Actually it can take a few minutes for zoom to open a meeting. I am always 'late' joining. I also tried zoom breakouts yesterday and again it took me over 1 minute to join that room. I have uninstalled and re-installed zoom and still the same issue.
I'm using a MacBook Air with IOS Big Sur 11.6

Me too! It's really frustrating when most of the meetings are done from my account and/ or I'm hosting them...
Same device and OS. Zoom is updated/ been reinstalled.
2021-10-25 04:38 AM
I forgot to update this thread but since a while, I don't have any issue.
Zoom is now 5.8.0 version (1324) and my laptop received some windows updates and has been restarted several times.
So I don't know what helped...
2021-11-02 07:57 AM
I have the same issue as well. Since a couple of weeks, it takes 1-2 minutes for zoom to start a meeting, either when I join an existing meeting or start my own. I'm on zoom version 5.8.1435. It's pretty annoying because it looks as if I always join meetings too late.
2022-03-30 04:40 AM
Yes, very slow I have problems with it loading, connecting and I always seem to lose the first 10 minutes of a meeting, then later it crashes and I have to log in all over again. I have no problems with Skype or anything else on my windows 10 laptop
2022-06-06 06:12 PM
Yeah, it's the only app I have this problem with - CRAZY slow to load, extremely sluggish when open, super frustrating. Get it together Zoom...

Dude same. Zoom takes 10 minutes to open and then 5 minutes just to turn on my camera then I pressed another button and I am not sure when will it respond again. I am still in the meeting though and I can still hear what the others are saying but I can't do any interaction. It might be because I just uploaded to Windows 11 or zoom fucked up its latest update. I am using version Version: 5.10.6 (5889) right now.
Edit: I restarted my laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled zoom, checked for its latest update, done everything, tried to join through a link, tried to join through manually putting in the details. Looked for solutions. None of them works.
2022-08-10 01:25 PM
same here... any solutions besides reimaging the machine?
2022-11-09 11:05 PM
Seems that it is slow to load if NOT SIGNED IN. When signed in, it is much quicker to restart (at least on my PC!).
2022-11-29 08:32 AM
Same issue here as well. Here's what I tried with the user.
- Uninstalled App and wiped Cache
- Reinstalled directly from Zoom website
User is on macOS 12.6.1 and Zoom 5.12.9

I experienced this too, on a Windows desktop PC. I uninstalled Zoom, then deleted the contents of %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Zoom (strangely this is where Zoom installs its app). Then downloaded the Zoom app and it opens fast like other apps.
