Hi LornaB! Welcome to Zoom Community! I'm guessing you were joining through web every time. I would suggest to download Zoom Client, an application installed in your computer. Eventually, every time you join a meeting it will direct to your application moving forward.

Here's the link to download the Zoom client: https://zoom.us/download
