Why choose Zoom Workplace?
Zoom remains one of the most reliable and widely adopted video meeting platforms, with strong performance on poor connections. The free tier supports unlimited one-to-one calls and time-limited group meetings.
Zoom Workplace has a genuinely free tier — usable on its own, with paid upgrades that remain optional. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and it comes from Zoom Communications rather than from a repackager — this page sends you to zoom.us, the publisher's own site, so what you install is the authentic signed build.
Worth comparing before you commit: Zoom Workplace vs Discord, Zoom Workplace vs Telegram Desktop, Zoom Workplace vs Signal.

- Free tier for personal and small-team use
How to download and install Zoom Workplace on Windows
- Use the official source. The download button on this page opens zoom.us, the publisher's own site — that is the safe route. If you would rather we double-check the current link first, ask and we email it. Either way, never take a zoom workplace download from a mirror or a "download manager" portal, which is where bundled adware comes from.
- Pick the build for your system. Zoom Workplace runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS. On Windows take the 64-bit package unless you are on an old 32-bit installation.
- Run the installer and accept the defaults. Zoom Communications ships no bundled extra software with it, so there is nothing to untick.
- Open it once before you need it. Confirming it launches and sees your files or hardware takes a minute now and saves a problem later.
- Keep it updated. Update from inside the program or from zoom.us — update prompts arriving by email or pop-up are not from the publisher.
Downloading Zoom Workplace in India
Zoom Workplace is the same software worldwide — there is no separate India build, no regional licence and nothing extra to pay. A zoom workplace download in India gets the identical package everyone else receives, straight from zoom.us.
We link only to that official source, so a zoom workplace setup download India from this page cannot arrive wrapped in a third-party installer. That matters more than download speed: the adware people blame on "free software" almost always comes from a mirror site, never from the publisher.
Is Zoom Workplace really free?
Free tier. A genuinely free tier, with optional paid upgrades. You can download and use it without paying, and without creating an account with us.
How to download Zoom Workplace safely
Use the request button on this page and we will email you the current link for zoom.us — the publisher's own website — so you receive the authentic, digitally signed build. We do not host, mirror, patch or repackage this software in any way.
Avoid third-party "download manager" sites offering Zoom Workplace. They commonly wrap the genuine installer in their own bundler, which is how adware and browser hijackers get onto a machine that the user believed was clean.
