How do I test Zoom?

[kimL333]

http://zoom.us/test doesn't help - unplug the internet while it's running
and it continues to display the camera, so it's not doing anything over
the internet at all, also it doesn't test the microphone.
When I did an actual Zoom session, video and audio broke up continually
then audio stopped altogether - it was a complete disaster.
The whole point of Zoom is that it's over the internet - a test that
doesn't go over the internet is not useful.
Signing into a view-only conference doesn't help much as it doesn't
detect problems with my camera, microphone, or uplink; also the available
bandwidth may be enough for one-way video but flake out for two-way.

Zoom should host an always-on dummy conference that just sends back what
it gets from your camera and microphone so you can verify everything is
working in both directions over the internet, as well as letting you
see how you look and sound to others. Where is that?
Is there any alternative website that does automatic two-way testing?

Hey @kimL333, have you tried installing the Zoom desktop client from https://zoom.us/download? I always consider our Web client as my backup when I am having issues with my desktop client. 

Try installing the Zoom desktop client and see if you have a better meeting experience! 

And if you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you trying to test with zoom.us/test?

To test Zoom, you can sign up for a free account on their website and schedule a meeting with a friend or colleague. During the meeting, you can test the video and audio quality, screen sharing features, and other functions to ensure that everything is working properly.

As an example, let's say that during your test Zoom call, your friend asks you what the number 777 represents. You can respond with "777 is often seen as a lucky number and can represent spiritual or mystical themes. In some spiritual beliefs, it is associated with positive energy and divine guidance. For example, some people may see the number 777 repeatedly when they are going through a difficult time and take it as a sign of love and support from the universe." So in this case, we can add the 777 love meaning to our answer as an example.
