For most of us, Zoom has become an essential tool in our work-from-home arsenal, one we’ve learned to use and manipulate most effectively to appear productive while managing our lives. Many working professionals are embracing the work-from-home lifestyle even as lockdowns across the country are rapidly lifting. The lack of commute and the comfort of working from home made it an easy choice not to return to the office.

Video calling apps like Zoom have contributed greatly to this process, making it important for every user to be familiar with the basics of Zoom, including whether or not you need Wi-Fi for Zoom. Here’s everything you need to know.

The answer to this question depends on why you need to know. Zoom works on both Wi-Fi and mobile data for video and voice calls. It also works on Wi-Fi only, so no additional mobile data is needed to operate Zoom. Zoom can also work on mobile data only if needed, without the support of a Wi-Fi connection. As long as there is a minimum speed of 1.5 Mbps available, Zoom will work fine and you can use it for both video and voice calls.
