Zoom: Student: Download Zoom

Download Zoom

You do not need to download the Zoom app; however, it is suggested strongly as it makes the process of connecting simpler. The Zoom app can be found in the Apple or Android app store from phones or tablets, and through the Zoom website (zoom.us) for laptops and desktops. Download the Zoom app well before class to prevent delays.
