Yes, it is possible to set up a proxy connection from the Zoom app. Here’s how:

Step 1: Open the Zoom app

• Click on the Zoom app icon to open the app.

Step 2: Click on the Settings icon

• Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the app to access the settings.

Step 3: Select “Proxy”

• Scroll down to the “Advanced” section and select “Proxy.”

Step 4: Enter proxy information

• Enter the information for the proxy server you wish to use, including the server address, port number, and any necessary login credentials.
• The proxy server information is typically provided by your organization’s IT department or network administrator. It would include the server address and port number, as well as any credentials that are required to access the server.
• If your organization uses a proxy server that requires authentication, you will need to enter the username and set up a password at the individual meeting, go to the settings tab and enable it. This setting will give you an option to set your password that you have been provided with.

Step 5: Save changes

• Click “OK” to save the changes and establish the connection to the proxy server.

It’s important to note that if you are using a proxy server, you will need to make sure that it is configured to allow connections to the Zoom app. Additionally, some companies might not allow the use of proxy servers, so you should check with your IT department or network administrator before proceeding.

One of the main reasons why organizations use proxy servers is to control and monitor internet usage, as well as to improve network security. By routing all internet traffic through the proxy server, it becomes easier for the IT department to block unwanted or potentially harmful websites, as well as to monitor which websites and services are being accessed by employees.

Additionally, proxy servers can also be used to improve network performance. By caching frequently accessed websites and resources, the proxy server can reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network, improving the speed and responsiveness of the internet connection.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that by using a proxy server, you may experience slower internet speeds and some websites or services may not be accessible. This is because the traffic has to go through the proxy server before reaching its destination.

If you are having trouble connecting to Zoom while using a proxy server, you may need to contact your IT department or network administrator for assistance. They may need to configure the proxy server to allow connections to Zoom or to provide you with the necessary credentials to connect to the server.

In conclusion, setting up a proxy connection from the Zoom app is possible and relatively straightforward. However, you should check with your IT department or network administrator before proceeding, as some companies may not allow the use of proxy servers. Additionally, it is important to remember that using a proxy server can affect internet speeds and some websites or services may not be accessible.
