Using Zoom Client and Zoom Rooms on Mac OS 10.14 Mojave

You will be prompted to allow others to remotely control your desktop with the Zoom desktop client. You can use the microphone and camera with Zoom by clicking OK on the first request .

Frequently Asked Question

 

Permissions for Zoom applications

In order to utilize the microphone, camera, screen recording and other features of Mac OS 10.14 Mojave and 10.15 Catalina that are available due to increased security and permissions, the Zoom desktop client from the Zoom web service will require authorization in order to utilize the features of Mac OS 10.14 Mojave and 10.15 Catalina.

 
In some cases, your Mac can be prevented from working with Zoom due to firewall software. Zoom might be considered as a security threat by the software and won’t allow it to run, since it interprets it as a threat. If you want to temporarily disable the Mac firewall, the only way to do so is by going to System Preferences -> Security & Private, and then selecting the Firewall tab.
 
The Zoom website is where you will be able to find instructions on how to manually download Zoom to your Mac. It is important to note that the Mac Zoom app has more features than the mobile and web versions of Zoom, which allows you to see the other participants in the conference call more easily as compared to the mobile and web versions. Once you have downloaded the Zoom app, you will be prompted to sign in to your Zoom account so that you can schedule meetings and make calls.
 
You can use Zoom on any operating system, including MacOS, and it is available for free download.
 
You may have to use the username and password for your Mac admin account in the event that you are having trouble updating Zoom on your Mac. Do not use the Zoom credentials when prompted, rather use the username and password for your Mac admin account. Using Zoom’s direct download links should resolve the issue if you have already uninstalled it, restarted your Mac and then installed a fresh copy of Zoom from Zoom’s direct download links if you have already uninstalled it.
