Is there a difference? Does it matter? Is one more stable than the other?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

There are differences. The desktop client supports all the abilities. Other clients do a subset.

 

Here is a support document that details the differences:

Thank you! I guess what I didn't ask well is...let's say I have the desktop client download. But, I go to zoom.us and login, and start my meeting or webinar from there. When I do that, it appears at the login point that Zoom then opens the desktop client. So...what am I actually using in that scenario - the desktop client?
