HELP! My Zoom app says it isn't able to connect to the internet

[atiquack]

Hi, as the title as said, everytime I try to launch Zoom, it says it can't connect to the internet. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my internet as I am able to browse google chrome as per normal. I tried updating my drivers and tried reinstalling Zoom to no avail.

My version of Zoom is Zoom Workspace for desktop.

The exact error is 'It looks like we are unable to connect. Please check your network connection and try again'

Please help me ASAP as I am using my Zoom for my university work. Thank you in advance everyone.

Same issue here. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and I have complete Internet connection.
