[NJTechDiv] Zoom on a laptop

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jane.

If you have an icon on the desktop, do you still have to download, then go to the download folder to enter your meeting, or does entering on the link in the email automagically get you into Zoom and start the meeting?

Hey Tracy

I use zoom on both as well but favor the lap top

I did just what you did and that is going to the download folder and entering it from there

I got those directions from a list serve I am on for zoom users

To get an icon on the desktop

I used the windows key and typed in  zoom and entered and then used the application key for the send to submenu and and put it on the desktop so it is easy now

I have a list of commands for the lap top I can send you if you wish

 

Hugs

I have Zoom working well on my phone, but I’m also trying to make it work on my laptop.  I’m having limited success, so maybe someone can tell me where I’m going wrong.

I get an email with a Zoom link.  I enter on the link, and Firefox opens.  It says something will happen in a few seconds, but nothing does, so I enter on the download link and save the file, as the instructions seem to indicate I should.  Then I have to go to my downloads folder and hit enter on the file I just saved, then allow it to run, and finally it starts.

I’m thinking there must be an easier way.  Where am I going wrong?

Thanks.

Tracy
