Do you need an account to use Zoom?
A Zoom account is notrequired if you are strictly joining Zoom Meetings as a participant. But you will have to download the app on an IOS device to attend a zoom session. If someone invites you to their meeting, you can join as a participant without creating an account. However, if the host has restricted joining meetings using authentication profiles, then the participant will need a Zoom account to access the meeting. Learn more about joining a Zoom meeting.

An account also allows you to access your personal settings, where you can update your profile or upgrade your plan at any time.
