Troubleshooting Downloads

Despite every Zoom Player installer being scanned by VirusTotal and approved by Microsoft SmartScreen prior to release, browsers may still issue 'Dangerous Software' warnings or alert that the software 'could harm your device'. This message is the result of Google's flawed 'Safe Browsing' initiative, which is also used by other browsers. Regrettably, Google does not offer a mechanism to challenge this false detection. Nevertheless, the actual installer is not malicious, and therefore, your antivirus software will not block it. As a workaround, consider downloading the installer as a ZIP file.

The Install Center

To maintain your privacy, the Install Center does not transmit any information.
Instead, the Install Center works by downloading an index file containing an up-to-date component catalog.

Once downloaded, the Install Center checks the catalog to determine which catalog component entries are currently missing or outdated on your computer. Next, the Install Center prompts you to select which components or language pack to install, with the missing or outdated components clearly marked in bold text.

With Zoom Player's Install Center, your computer is always securely updated with the latest verified media playback technologies.
