Step 1: Visit zoom.us/test.

Step 2: Click "Join" to start a test Zoom meeting.

If you already have the Zoom app installed on your computer, it will pop up a window saying you need to open the link with the Zoom app. If you haven't downloaded the app yet, it will start the downloading process automatically after you click the "Join" button.

Step 3: Testing Camera

After launching the Zoom app, it will show a video preview before joining a video meeting, so you can set up your webcam, and then select to join the meeting with or without video.

Step 4: Testing Speakers

Then you need to click the test speaker to play the test ringtone. If you can hear it, then click yes; if you can't hear it, you need to select from the drop-down list and select which speaker you want to use.

Step 5: Testing Microphone

Next, you need to test the microphone. It not only shows your input level but also plays back to what you just said. If you can hear it, you select yes; if you can't hear it, you must select from the drop-down list and select which microphone you want to use.

Step 6: Leave the Test Meeting

If all look good, you can select Leave to end the test meeting.
