Re: My first ever Zoom call on a mac and I'm really worried
Hi Simon, when you click the link, you can click the allow button once it takes you into Safari. Then this will open up the zoom client. And take you directly into the meeting.

Re: My first ever Zoom call on a mac and I'm really worried
I’m not a regular zoom user, but my last zoom there was a problem with voiceover bleeding in to my audio channel. It was a distraction for the other meeting members. You might want to think about perhaps muting voiceover, or using some in your earbuds so only you hear the voice over.

Re: My first ever Zoom call on a mac and I'm really worried
Do not worry. Zoom on the Mac is quite simple. However, when you click the link to get you into the meeting, it will probably launch Safari and let you in that way. You can also download the /Zoom USA app from the ‘’zoom site. Try it out a few times before the meeting to familiarize yourself with all of of the options and keyboard equivalents.

Re: My first ever Zoom call on a mac and I'm really worried
Another thing, Your Mac is going to ask that you respond to a lot of permission request from zoom when you join your first meeting. Might be a good idea to open zoom, and do a practice meeting with just yourself, using your personal meeting ID. This way, you can get all those permission requests out-of-the-way before you join a real meeting. This will also give you a chance to get familiar with the zoom meeting user interface that you encounter once you are in a meeting on your Mac. - Brad - On Oct 30, 2023, at 09:35, 'Jason J.G.

My first ever Zoom call on a mac and I'm really worried
Hi, I’ve been sent an invitation to a Zoom meeting in a few days’ time. I’ve got Zoom installed on my M1 chip macbook air but I’ve not done a Zoom meeting before. They sent me a link, and then some ID numbers. If I click the link, will it automatically connect me to the person who issued the invitation? Do I need to do anything else of importance once in Zoom window? Any tips from more experienced Zoom users on the mac would be appreciated.
