Zoom hangs and becomes unresponsive when joining meetings

[REA_admin]

Hi, I have a user with such a problem that Zoom will hang or take very long to respond when joining a meeting. Is there any settings I could change or try?

Hi @REA_admin 

Is the Zoom client on the latest version (5.8.3)?

Does it make a difference how many participants there are?

What is the hardware specification of the computer?

Hello, we are on 5.8.3 x64 and encountering the same issue as REA_admin. Downgrading to 5.8.1 x64 resolved the issue. Is this a known issue with the 5.8.3 x64 Windows client?

Where do you get the older version?

Sorry forget to add yes it's the latest 5.8.3 only happens when having meetings with external parties don't matter the amount of participants.
