This article lists the requirements for using the Zoom Web App and browser-based web client on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. This allows you to join and participate in meetings and webinars without needing to install the full Zoom app, instead connected through your web browser.

For system requirements for other Zoom products, refer to the articles for the desktop client, mobile app, and Zoom Rooms.

Notes:

• These are the officially supported web browsers. The Zoom Web App and web client may work in other browsers, but those browsers are not officially supported and may vary in terms of compatibility and functionality.
• For web browsers, older versions may also still work, but for best results, we recommend keeping within 2 versions of the current version.
