I have a new Windows 11 PC and tried to install Zoom Desktop, but Windows Defender flagged the installer as having a virus. Is this possible? How do install Zoom?

Hi @mthorne ,

Did you try downloading the installer directly from the official Zoom website? This is the safest way to ensure you’re getting the legitimate and virus-free version of the Zoom Desktop application. https://zoom.us/download?os=win

 

If you’re still encountering issues, let me know, and I’d be happy to help further!
