Do I need Zoom or an app to join my session?
Updated November 2026
No. You join your session in your web browser from the link in your booking email. There is nothing to install and no Zoom account to make. At the booked time, open the link, allow your camera and microphone, and you are on video with your coach.
Steps
- Before the session: find the email with the video link, test your camera and microphone, and find a quiet, well-lit place.
- At the booked time: open the link in the email, or press Join Meeting on the confirmation screen. Allow your camera and microphone if the browser asks.
- If the coach is not there yet: stay in the video room. They join you there.
- During the session: the camera and microphone controls are at the bottom of the screen.
If the session is in person instead, the location details are in the session description and your booking email.
What you need
- A current web browser: Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.
- A camera and microphone, and a steady internet connection.
- A laptop, desktop or tablet works best. A phone works too.
Questions people also ask
Can I join from my phone?
Yes, in the phone's browser. A laptop, desktop or tablet gives a better picture and a steadier call.
Will my session be recorded?
Only if the coach starts a recording. Talkspresso does not record sessions on its own.
What if the video does not connect?
Refresh the page, check that the browser has camera and microphone permission, or try a different browser. If it still does not work, write to support@talkspresso.com.
