Sorry for these newbie questions. I am new to Zoom.

I want to run Zoom from my desktop computer which has no WebCam.

Is it possible to participate in a Zoom meeting anyway?

I got an invitation link form someone else.

Can I show a photo instead of the webcam live view?

Where in Zoom do I have to upload/specify this default photo?

When I start zoom (on Win10) then I am requested to either"Join a meeting" or "Sign in".

Assume I want to Join a meeting (created by someone else) do I have to sign in first or is this possible WITHOUT an existing Zoom account?

Is there a dummy Test Zoom meeting (provided by Zoom) which I can use to test the zoom meeting handling?

Thank you

Thomas

I have been using webinar for 4 years it's

Been great meetings have been scheduled through zoom webinar and my

Assignment are sent to emails I was an attendee years ago now I'm a panelist fastest way to get a meeting simply done and easy the host pends on what you choose.

I have tried to join a Zoom meeting on my laptop but I come up with the "Unable to join this meeting" screen. However, I can join the same meeting on my Apple Iphone. 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Zoom App on my computer but I am still getting the message. 

Is there something I can do? Up until a week ago, I had no problems.

Thanks!

Hi, I can't update if more space on computer is required.  Please reccomend alternative to needing more space on computer.  Need streamlined zoom program that can function on zoom.  I have an account.  Please stop making programs larger and make alterntive to larger upload for update.

Zoom had been working fine for years on desktop computer then 2 weeks ago something went wrong. It will only open by clicking on "open in my browser" and then I can only get the audio. The video won't open. I uninstalled Zoom, did a restart and reinstalled it. I still have the same outcome "in the browser " only. Windows 10 shows it in a folder and there is a Zoom icon on the taskbar. But Zoom will not open. When I click on the folder or icon I get 2 seconds of an hourglass but it will not open. My Task  Manager does not show Zoom as being present. I have followed videos that  I found on Google but they do not address this issue. I have checked the settings on Windows 10 for video, camera and audio. They are correct. I don't get any error message from Zoom. Please, can anyone help me? And Zoom on my laptop computer works fine. Thanks, Jim K 

Thank you 

I use Zoom for free and would like to have longer meetings. But I only teach a course which lasts for 4 weeks a couple of times a year. So I don't want to pay for a whole year. Is a monthly payment a commitment to pay monthly for the whole year or can I just pay for the month that I need?

Running macOS Catalina (limited by hardware) on both a 2013 Macbook Pro as well as 2013 27" iMac.  Issue occurs on both.  Worked fine until early 2023 (just got around to post this).

Setup is Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with two mics as audio input and original audio for teaching piano.  I cannot recall which update came first, macOS or Zoom, but since early this this year the audio input could no longer be used as audio inputs as the audio signal kept getting severely clipped/muted.  Searched the forums for similar issues but could not find a solution that worked (deleting Zoom, clearing out files, reinstalling latest Zoom, creating an aggregate audio device, etc.).  The audio input could be used to record using Quicktime and Audacity without any issues.

Out of curiosity, I plugged the audio interface into a 2019 MacBook Pro running the latest macOS Ventura (13.4.1) and Zoom (5.13.11).  Interestingly, the audio issue disappeared and I could hear clean audio in setting.  This makes be believe the issue is isolated to Macs running older macOS or possibly older hardware.  The fact that it was working before and started glitching after an update indicates it is a bug that can be fixed.  It could also be an Apple issue (bad audio drivers?).

Hoping Zoom devs can look into this.
