Hey If you want to download + install zoom on your Mac ( intel or m1 both )

Version: 5.5.1
This zoom app is not really cool because it basically will not let you get the app if you put in your email address and it keeps telling me that my gmail password and gmail address is wrong ugh.
Dec 10 2020
Version: 5.4.6
Haven't used the app yet, for the following two reasons:
- Why an installer? I understand that in some rare instances installers are inevitable, but tell me - why do I need an installer for a messaging / conferencing app?
- The interface is not the finest (not particularly Mac-worthy).
Dec 9 2020
Version: 5.4.4
Now in my advance (VERY) years Zoom is proving magical for me thank you
