johnoo Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Just got a web cam, so thinking about talking to my mates via Zoom. Is there a preferred site to download it? Any other advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 The web browser client should download automatically when you start or join your first Zoom meeting, Also available for manual download here https://zoom.us/download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted December 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thanks, before I move forward, the camera I've borrowed is a "Huddlecam"94. No User Manual But I've found the devise on Windows 10, & settings appear to be OK. I've made a short video which I will send to a friend to ensure I know what I'm doing! But then:- If I download the Zoom manually can I then start online video calls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted December 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Before we get there! Sending video by e mail failed, it was 55Mb. Went into the file, right click/ selected :- Sent to/Compressed Folder (Zipped) but still would not send on e mail Help?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually if its under 10MB in size you are OK. Read this https://www.thewindowsclub.com/attachment-size-limits-outlook-gmail-yahoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got "Irfanview" installed but can't find how to reduce on this. Have also tried creating a zip file, _ Right click/Send to compressed (Zipped) folder, but again no joy.

Boris Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Irfanview won't do anything with a video file 🙂 - it is for pictures. Try this ? https://www.freeconvert.com/video-compressor for the video file - you'll need to play with the settings (Compression method/Target size) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted December 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thanks I will try it, but I've also reduced camera resolution which helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
