Hi there, I am having a problem with Zoom that I had never had before, Nowadays, It suddenly starts freezing on launch way more often than it did before, Sometimes, it literally fails to launch, which is pretty annoying, if you're wondering, I just force quitted Zoom app a few days, ago, nothing much. Would that be the problem? If so, Please tell me the solution to it,

 

Thank you so much,

Hasanapanta

  • Click your profile icon > Check for Updates

  • If you can’t launch Zoom at all:
