Joining a Zoom test meeting

 

Prepare for upcoming Zoom meetings by setting up a Zoom test call. Within your test meeting, you have the ability to check your internet connection, familiarize yourself with Zoom's video conferencing features, and adjust your audio and video before joining the meeting. 

If you don't have time before joining, you can also test your video or audio while in a Zoom meeting.

Note: If you are using the Zoom mobile app, you can visit http://zoom.us/test to join a test meeting, then follow the instructions to test your video or audio.
