How Do I Install Zoom on My Laptop Computer?

Before you can start using Zoom, you need to install it on your laptop computer. In this article, we will guide you through the process of installing Zoom and preparing your laptop for video conferencing.

Choosing a Connection Type

When connecting to a public network at a library, coffee shop, or other public place, you may encounter slow connections or internet problems. To avoid these issues, it is recommended to use a private network like the one you have at home. If possible, use a wired internet connection when in a Zoom meeting or Virtual Classroom.

Camera Setup

To ensure that your camera is set up correctly, make sure it is showing your face and that the lighting is good. If you don't have a built-in camera, you can purchase a basic and inexpensive camera. It's a good idea to have a webcam available with your computer.

Microphone Testing

Test your microphone by speaking into it. You may choose to use an external microphone or headset with a built-in mic. Most computers have a basic built-in microphone. If you're not sure how to test your microphone, contact VUIT for assistance.
