Resolving Zoom Issues

Zoom locks-up or fails to load:

Zoom Security Permissions

Zoom requires permissions in order to run, access camera or microphone – Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. If Zoom appears where it says “Allow apps downloaded from…” click the Allow button. You can also check for the required permissions under Security & Privacy > Privacy. In this section, make sure Zoom appears and is checked active under Camera, Microphone, Accessibility, Files and Folders, Screen Recording, and Full Disk Access. If Zoom is not present under these options, click the + symbol, navigate to the applications folder, and select Zoom.

Troubleshooting Mobile Device Speaker Issues

If you cannot hear other participants in a Zoom meeting, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue.

  • Ensure your speaker is turned on. If you see the speaker icon in the top-left corner is turned off, tap it to turn on your speaker:

  • Try using earphones.
  • Restart your mobile device.
  • Reinstall Zoom from the Apple App Store or Google Play
