I already have Zoom on my iPhone and my iPad. I now have a MacBook Pro and want to use Zoom on this as well. How do I do this?

    Hi @Hila56 

     

    You can download the Zoom desktop client software at: https://zoom.us/download

     

    If you have a new MacBook Pro with an Apple Silicon processor (M1, or M2), but sure to click the link specifically for that. Once installed, you can sign into the Zoom application on your Mac with the same email address and password that you've used for zoom on your iPhone and iPad. There will be some Mac specific settings to play with in the app.

     

    I hope that helps!

    I too have a Mac environment, with an M1 OS.   I didn't realize I should have a zoom app specifically for that OS.  So I have 2 questions:

    1.  for the specific version of zoom... should I just download the new version and then delete the old? or delete the old first and download the new?  I just wonder if I'll lose data (ongoing meetings, etc) w/ deleting the current zoom.

     

    2.  I am also wondering if my iPhone is causing feedback during a zoom meeting.  My phone was nearby...   and this OS often used iPhone mirroring...   one of the things I did was to take the iPhone and put it into another room.   Do you have anything to say about this?

    Yep, just install the Zoom app on the new laptop. Note that only 1 laptop/desktop Zoom app can be logged into zoom at any one time.....

    But 1 EACH of iPhone/desktop-laptop/ and iPad simultaneously, yes?

    Zoom only seems to restrict simultaneous logins on  laptop/desktop systems (not sure about chromebooks)
