Searching 'Zoom Workplace download for PC' rather than just 'Zoom' suggests you noticed the app got renamed and want to make sure you're grabbing the legitimate current version rather than an outdated leftover. Zoom Communications rebranded its desktop client from plain 'Zoom' to 'Zoom Workplace' to reflect added chat, whiteboard, and scheduling features bundled alongside video meetings. This page has the current PC installer under its present name.
Why the App Got a New Name
Zoom Workplace is the same underlying meeting engine longtime Zoom users know, expanded to bundle team chat, a whiteboard, and mail/calendar integration into a single desktop client rather than separate apps. The free tier still caps group meetings at 40 minutes, unchanged from the original Zoom.
Existing Zoom accounts carry over automatically, there's no separate signup needed if you've used Zoom before under the old name.
Who ends up using Zoom Workplace
Remote teams running daily standups, teachers hosting online classes, and businesses replacing separate chat and meeting tools all standardize on Zoom Workplace.
- Remote teams running recurring video standups and cross-department meetings
- Teachers and tutors hosting live online classes with screen sharing
- Small businesses consolidating chat, scheduling, and video calls into one app
Before you install
A couple of things worth knowing about Zoom Workplace before you request the link: it covers Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, so pick the right build for the machine you're setting up. And on pricing, Zoom Workplace has a free tier plus a paid upgrade; the free build below is the full, genuine app, not a time-limited trial. It's developed and maintained by Zoom Communications.
System requirements
- WindowsWindows 10 or 11 (64-bit); older 7/8.1 builds usually still run but no longer get official support
- macOSa recent macOS release — check the download page for the current minimum version, since Apple Silicon vs Intel builds sometimes differ
- Linuxmost current 64-bit distributions; look for a native .deb/.rpm/AppImage or a package in your distro's own repository
- Androida recent Android build installed from the Play Store or the developer's own APK
- iOSa recent iOS release installed from the App Store
It's a lightweight tool, so there's no serious CPU/RAM/storage requirement beyond what its OS already needs to run comfortably.

Keeping Zoom Workplace up to date
Zoom Workplace usually has a built-in updater or store-based auto-update (Microsoft Store / Mac App Store / Play Store, depending on platform); if you installed it manually, re-downloading the current build from the official source is the fallback. Sticking to the developer's own distribution channel — which is what this page links to — means you're never stuck on an old build with unpatched bugs just because a mirror site stopped updating its copy.
