Zoom Update for Big Sur Mac Users

It seems that the problem is with a wired Ethernet connection. If you use wireless there should be no problem. However, we still recommend using a wired connection when possible to improve overall stability. Zoom released an update to fix the problem on March 7th. Go here to update to Zoom 5.5.5.
