Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Zoom is a legitimate and widely used communication application from Zoom. It is generally safe when obtained from Zoom or a trusted source, but it may store account settings, meeting history, logs, cached content, and user preferences. Review before removing if you rely on Zoom for work, school, saved settings, or local app data.
Recommendation: Keep if you use Zoom for meetings or chat. If you no longer use it, removal is usually reasonable after checking for any needed local settings, logs, or cached meeting-related data. Review any Zoom auto-launch or helper items separately if they appear in login or background items.
