TOPIC: VTD Zoom Set-Up

Hello
I am setting up zoom on my wife's Mac to get ready for my 1st VTD in January and want to make sure I am getting it set up right. On Mac Zoom doesn't appear in the apps area but I did find a way that I can download it and have done it but it is offering me 2 different ones. Zoom Desktop Client and Zoom Rooms for Conference. If anyone knows which or how this is supposed to look so I can be ready as to not slow down our runs or not be able to. Thanks and I hope y'all have a great weekend!!!

Zoom Desktop Client is the one you want.

Perfect, I had done that already. Is there anything I should test out to make sure everything is running the way it should be ?

Just make sure that it picks up your video and mic appropriately. You should be able to test those without entering into an actual call.

I’ll have my wife download it on her phone and do a call to see if it works. It’s a free service like Skype correct ?

Believe there are Two versions, the free client works just fine for VTD

Does the “ pay “ version work better? I don’t want to slow my team down. They were kind enough to take me on, I want to do all I can to not be a cause of chaos

The free version is absolutely fine for players. I believe TD has to pay for an account, but the players don’t.

Basically, a free account is just limited in how long a session you can host (I think 45 minutes is the limit) But it doesn't have any impact on what you connect to. 99%+ of people just need the free account (and it is all you need to play VTD).

The normal non-free account mainly just lets you have a session that lasts more than 45 minutes.

There are also some other paid accounts that are more targeted to companies wanting to manage large groups of users, use it as a phone system replacement, and some other special use cases like hosting webinars.

awesome, thank you all for the great information !!!
