Zoom does not run on boards based on ARM chips. So we tried to adopt web client but it turns out the browser is consuming most of our CPUs and making system being frozen.
A zoom desktop client running on raspbian buster (debian 10) 32 bits in a raspberry pi 4 (armv8 architectures) it will be fully appreciated and used. It is really neccesary for millons of students and families with low incomes affected by covid19 pandemia. Students (primary, middle school and university) are using raspberry pi as an accesible desktop standard pc, potentiated by its open source, teaching environmet capabilities for coding or STEM projects and o take virtual classes over many clasroom web platforms. I think its an imediate priority for zoom consolidation as a virtual education environment.
Thank you very much in advance
But I would like to re-iterate that I believe Zoom on the ARM Linux platform is a huge missed business opportunity for Zoom Video Communications. As I mentioned in the post I linked to, The Raspberry Pi Foundation is giving thousands of Pi 400 computers to children in need and they plan on expanding the program. Currently, the zoom webapp is the only semi-viable solution to the problem (not a great one). If the families from the aforementioned Raspberry Pi Foundation Program, as well as anyone else who uses the ARM and AArch64 (64-bit arm) Linux platforms, are able to access and use the native desktop client, then I am sure the adoption of the Zoom software will skyrocket.
There are of course many other ARM and AArch64 Linux computers out there. Some of the notable ones that come to mind for me are the Pinebook Pro and the RockPro64. Also, some might just use the Raspberry Pi 4 in a compatible case as a desktop computer (as I have done in the past). If Zoom is ported to Linux on the armhf and aarch64 architectures, many, many ARM devices will be able to use the Zoom software, not just the Raspberry Pi computers.
I believe that if Zoom is not ported to ARM, then there is a huge potential for Zoom Video Communications to be missing out on an large untapped market of potential installs, both by businesses and individuals.
Is the reason that the Pi4 is not fast enough?
Does Zoom use special OpenGL calls not available on Pi4 and which would be hard to rewrite on GLES?
Does it contain a lot of x86 assembly?
Some commercial reason to encourage people to buy expensive laptops?
Hello,
@michael.zoom
It has been over a full year and no response from anyone that is part of Zoom project. Can you please provide any update to where the issue of obtaining a native Zoom client for Raspberry Pi exists in the priority queue. The need, logic, and installed base appears to be significant, and it is very unclear as to the reasoning for not providing a proper release.
If the release is not pending in a short time, please also provide the reasoning (besides lack of engineering resources) for not being able to provide the most important educational tool for quarantined students and teachers, for the largest installed base, educational computer.
Zoom finally has an ARM64 version of the app, for Windows.
The Pi can run Windows, thanks to WOR. I tested it, and it runs far better than the x64 version through emulation.
Although a Linux ARM client would be great as well.
There is a known issue caused by an OpenSSL bug on 64-bit zoom client 5.16.x on some Windows systems. We've opened a ticket to OpenSSL and the fix is on the way. So if 32-bit zoom client 5.16.10 can solve your issue, please use it as a workaround and wait for our official fix.
I have been struggling with this same problem since the beginning of October. I have tried all solutions that are posted without success. Why can't ANY of them suggest loading an OLDER version of Zoom with instructions on how to do it? Also, what is this "Zoom Cloud Meetings" crap? Turns out it appears to be doublespeak for regular Zoom. So here is a novel idea:
My goodness, thank you so much. I had the exact same problem as OP which started the day I installed the 2023-10 Windows 10 update. I fixed it by uninstalling the latest version of Zoom, then installing Zoom 5.16.1 via -us-zoom.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions. I spent a few hours trying to figure this out! I don't know why I waited so long to visit this forum.
Thank you so much Bruce! I have not used zoom on my desktop for a couple of months. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't start my meeting this morning or even join as a participant. It has been a frustrating morning. I have spent the last 5 hours trying to fix this problem for another meeting tomorrow morning. After trying many failed fix attempts I came across this form with your suggestion and guess what? IT WORKED! I agree with your comments and again thank you!
I also have been trying to get Zoom working on my laptop. I had been having inperson meetings, so I hadn't used Zoom on it for awhile. I've uninstalled, installed, cleaned, and restarted my laptop I don't know how many times. So glad I found this forum! Thank you BruceP (and others) for taking away my frustration! I greatly appreciate it!
Now that I know how to fix the problem, it is easier to find out more about the problem. It appears Zoom version 5.16.X, 64-bit version is broken, at least for some computers. The 32 bit version reportedly works. Otherwise uninstall the latest version and download version 5.15.11.
Add your Zoom account by opening Fantastical's Settings, clicking Accounts, clicking the plus button, then selecting Zoom. Sign in to your Zoom account and it will appear in Fantastical's list of accounts.
You can create a Zoom event for any event or invitation. Click on the show details button when creating or editing an event, check the checkbox for Zoom Meeting, and confirm your settings. The Zoom meeting info will automatically be added to the event's notes.
Remove your Zoom account from Fantastical's Settings > Accounts. Once you remove your Zoom account, Fantastical will no longer have access to it. Personal data about your events is not kept on Flexibits servers.
Zoom limits the number of devices you can have signed in per OS for third party apps. To prevent errors in Fantastical, you will need go to Fantastical > Settings > Accounts, select your Zoom account, and enable the option to "Share account across devices".
I am not sure if you noticed, but there are both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the Zoom Meetings App. As most know that any 64 bit version of any app will run better and more efficient than a 32 bit version. A 32 bit version of a program can only access 4GB RAM. Therefore if you have a computer with more than 4GB on your system (e.g 8GB, 12GB, 16GB + or more), the 32 bit program will not access it.
To allow the Zoom Meeting App to run in 64 bit mode, we at Clustered Networks recommend you to uninstall the 32 bit version or Zoom and and to re-install the 64 bit version of Zoom as noted in the Image below.
In order to check to see wich version of Zoom is installed on a Windows 10 computer you have to open up the Zoom App. You don't have to start a meeting, but you have to have at least be able to see the opening screen where it prompts you to "Join or Start" a meeting. With the Zoom App opened, next "right click" on the taskbar at the bottom, and open up the "Task Manager", then click on "processes". If you see a "(32 bit)" beside the zoom app, that means you are running the 32 bit version of the Zoom App. If it does NOT say "(32 bit)". that means you are running the 64 bit version of zoom.
If you are running the 32 bit version of Zoom, Exit the program and go to "Add or Remove Programs" and remove or uninstall Zoom. Next go to the zoom.us website and download the 64 bit version of Zoom and reinstall Zoom.
Simply put, a 64-bit processor is more capable than a 32-bit processor because it can handle more data at once. A 64-bit processor can utilize more computational processes and values, including memory addresses, which means it can access over 4 billion times the physical memory of a 32-bit processor. Most Computers today are 64 bit and if you are running a Microsoft Windows environment are likely running 64 bit version or Windows 10 or even the newer Windows version 11.
At Clustered Networks we use Zoom everyday for meetings with our Clients plus we use it for personal use. We recommend you to always check to see if you are running the latest version of Zoom by checking before each meeting. It only take and few seconds to do as described in this video.

We had an old version of zoom installed on all of our computers. I recently replaced the old version with the new MSI version of Zoom but wondering how we should go about getting the old version uninstalled from the users laptop and then have the new version installed. I thought to just add all users to both the required assigment group along with the uninstall assigment group, but feel like this would casue an endless loop of uninstalling and reinstalling. is there a correct script to add within the command line argument?
I know the package works since I imaged a new laptop and the correct version of zoom was installed through intune onto the new laptop.
Thanks for any advice
Note:
Use of the clean uninstaller will completely remove the Zoom client, as well as the Zoom plugin for Outlook. The Outlook add-in, Chrome/Firefox extensions, and GSuite add-on are unaffected.
ZoomIt is a screen zoom, annotation, and recording tool for technical presentationsand demos. You can also use ZoomIt to snip screenshots to the clipboard or to a file.ZoomIt runs unobtrusively in the tray and activates with customizablehotkeys to zoom in on an area of the screen, move around while zoomed, and draw onthe zoomed image. I wrote ZoomIt to fit my specific needs and use it in all mypresentations.
