How to Install and Configure Zoom on Mac with Custom Bandwidth Settings

Are you looking to bypass bandwidth restrictions set on your web settings? If so, installing and configuring Zoom on your Mac is a great way to do just that. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of installing Zoom on your Mac and setting custom bandwidth settings.

Installing Zoom on Your Mac

To begin, you'll need to download and install Zoom from the official website. Once downloaded, simply run the installation file and follow the prompts to install Zoom on your Mac.

Configuring Custom Bandwidth Settings

Once installed, you can configure custom bandwidth settings for Zoom on your Mac. To do this, open the Zoom client and click on 'Preferences' in the top menu bar. From there, select 'Bandwidth' from the list of options.

Here, you'll be able to set a maximum receiving bandwidth for the desktop client. Note that if bandwidth is restricted through web settings, those restrictions will override any settings you make here.

You can also set a maximum sending bandwidth for the desktop client, as well as prevent screen sharing traffic from going over proxies.

Proxy Settings

If you need to use a proxy server with Zoom, you can configure it easily. Simply select 'Proxy' from the list of options and enter the necessary details.

Advanced Options

Zoom also offers several advanced options that you can customize to suit your needs. For example, you can set the client to upgrade to the 64-bit version upon update if the 32-bit version is installed on a 64-bit system.

You can also control whether the desktop client can check for updates and prompt users to install them. Additionally, you can set the cadence of updates applied to the desktop client.

Installing and configuring Zoom on your Mac with custom bandwidth settings is a great way to bypass restrictions set on your web settings. With these steps, you should be able to get started with using Zoom on your Mac while still maintaining control over your bandwidth usage.
