Zoom does not require admin access to your computer.

You must have a fast internet connection! Ask others who share your wifi to stay offline during the meeting.

Your computer must have a webcam so you can send your voice.

Video conferencing involves a lot of separate components and therefore it can be surprisingly problematic. It is very important to host a test meeting at least a few days ahead of time so that you can work out any problems you may encounter.
