Hello!


Anyone here have experience with Zoom?

I've been invited to participate in a session.  I've read the basic  
requirements and process.  But I need to know if even the web/client  
option requires a download.  The docs seem to have conflicting  
information. The Zoom page says:

        "The Zoom web client allows joining a Zoom meeting or webinar  
*without* downloading any plugins or software."

But then further in it says:

        "You do not have to have a Zoom account to attend a Zoom meeting  
or interview. You will be prompted to "download" the software, once you  
have clicked on the link that you have been provided."

So, which is it?  Download or no download?  I would like to know in  
advance because my data plan is capped and I don't want to download any  
client software.  The data stream will probably consume plenty of data  
just the same.

Which brings me to the next question.  How much data would a typical  
connection consume in one minute?
