zoom does not work

I cannot log in to zoom or attend any meetings. This is the message: 

"Check to make sure you're connected to a stable network that is not blocked by a firewall or proxy."

I have spent 3.5 hr with apple troubleshooting my mac. They said it's zoom. Any ideas? 

Thank you

If you have a Mac - I had this issue for ages and was unable to resolve it. I finally did a little more looking, and found this StackExchange post that suggested uninstalling Zoom by using their uninstall file instead of putting the Application in the trash.

I did this by going to Applications -> right clicking on zoom.us -> Show package contents -> open Contents -> open Frameworks -> use the ZoomUninstaller file.

 

After this, I reinstalled and it successfully worked.
