how to join a Zoom test meeting

Establishing a Zoom test call will help you prepare for upcoming Zoom meetings. If our test meeting is your first time using Zoom, you have the option to check the connectivity of your computer, familiarize yourself with the video conferencing features, and adjust your audio and video before coming on board.

Before joining the Zoom meeting, you can test your video and audio while you are in the meeting, if you do not have any time before joining.
