Many of us use Zoom now for many purposes. This morning I read about a an update that patches a flaw that allows hackers to install malicious code into your computer. Make sure that your App is up-to-date. Read about it here:

I seldom use Zoom and whenever I do it always gives me grief. I have difficulty getting into a meeting, camera does not work, speaker or microphone won't function, or something else. I've not been impressed with it at all.

I have found it to be horrible as well. We sometimes use it on our SmartPhones when we have to. We can't use it on our PCs because they are towers without cameras or microphones. I would imagine that they could be added externally, but why when I don't like the Application to begin with. Buggy junk, not from a company that might know what it is doing.

Interesting.
Runs just fine on my 10 year old laptop under Win 7.

Haha - I have always used computers, going back to the '60s in HS. I've been the treasurer for many years of a local Mac Users Group which helps me keep up. I'm sure most early teens are way ahead of me but I keep up with what I need. Take care, Mike.
