Introduction
You may use Zoom’s test meeting to ensure that your microphone, speakers, and camera are all operational before beginning a real conference. This test meeting is accessible through web, desktop, and mobile, and we’ll teach you how to join it.
Zoom’s test meeting on a desktop provides a genuine conference-like atmosphere in which you may test your camera, microphone, and other choices. On your smartphone, however, you simply have a testing tool that informs you whether your microphone and camera are operational.

When your phone asks you how you want to access the tapped link, choose Zoom from the menu. As a result, your test meeting will begin in the Zoom app that you have installed.
On the Zoom app screen, you’ll notice a “Device Test Results” choice that indicates whether or not your microphone and camera are operational. A green check mark next to any of these elements shows that the device is operational.
If an item has a problem, touch it to discover how to repair it.
When you’re finished, press “End Test” to leave the meeting.
And you’re done.
Zoom Problems and Solutions
The most prevalent problem with Zoom meetings is that you are unable to view your camera stream. If this occurs in your web browser, verify sure the Zoom site has permission to access your webcam. When your meeting begins, you should be prompted to give this permission.
If this happens on the Zoom desktop app, make sure the right webcam is chosen in the Zoom settings menu.
If your microphone isn’t functioning, it’s most likely because you didn’t choose the right mic or input source. On the meeting screen, click the “Mute” button and then pick the proper microphone device.
