Do you Need a Zoom Account to Accept an Invite?

You don’t need a Zoom account to accept an invitation because anyone who receives the Zoom invite is able to accept the invitation. You can accept the meeting invite by clicking the invitation link. Then, you can join the meeting using any browser without having a Zoom account.

You don’t need to acquire an account to join a Zoom meeting as a participant. But if you want to start or schedule a meeting on the Zoom application, you must have an account.

Additionally, when the meeting host makes the Zoom meeting only for the authentic profile user, you will not be able to join the meeting without a Zoom account.

The overall summary is that you can accept the Zoom invitation and join the meeting as a participant with your browser if you don’t have an account. But when the host creates the meeting for only the authentic profile holder, you can’t join that meeting.
