If you've already installed our videoconferencing app, but are still seeing this message when you log in or land on the waiting room page:

Download and Install Zoom message     

 

Answer

It's possible that you may have disabled or recently deleted your cookies, or you may be using a different browser than the one you used to download Zoom the first time.

 

When you click on the blue "Download Zoom" button or "Stop Showing This Message" button, our website drops a "cookie" in your browser for the subdomain that you are on. These aren't the delicious cookies that tempt you from afar--it is a piece of data that tells your browser not to display this message again.

  • If you have cookies disabled, you will always see this message when you refresh your dashboard or waiting room page.
  • If you have cookies enabled, but your browser deletes them every time you close a window, you will see the message again when you open a different window.
  • If you have recently deleted your cookies, you will continue to see this message until you click "Download Zoom" or "Stop Showing This Message" again and it drops a new cookie in your browser.
  • If you are using a different browser, or accessing a different subdomain, you will continue to see this message until you click "Download Zoom" or "Stop Showing This Message" again and it drops a new cookie in your browser. (e.g., if the URL bar says "hub.securevideo.com", that is different from "mainstreetclinic.securevideo.com")

 

Cookies are normally enabled by default in browsers, but if you would like to check, here are links to the support pages of common browsers. (You don't have to allow all cookies, but you should allow it for the subdomain your sessions will be held on.)
