Fix the Zoom “Please check your network connection” Error

Zoom is a great way to conduct business, work with classmates on your home school group project or to stay connected with friends all over the world. Especially now, as the Coronavirus – Covid-19 has put a new spin on things, with most people now working from home.

Zoom is great as long as it’s working properly. But, for many users Zoom seems to be unstable and have connectivity and call quality issues – got the “please check your network connection” error yet?

The reason for your Zoom network connection error is – you guessed it – your Internet connection. Read below to learn how to fix it once and for all.

The most common cause of Zoom network connection issues is the Internet you’re using to connect to their servers. When you have a slow or unreliable Internet connection, Zoom isn’t able to work properly. Sometimes, you may not even realize that you have a connectivity issue until you try and use the service. And it’s most annoying when it happens during an important business call.

Zoom video conferencing uses a lot of bandwidth. Your device is sending a complex set of data packets to the device of the person you are trying to talk to, their device is sending packets of data to you.

If your Wi-Fi connection has a momentary blip or your cellular connection fluctuates, some of the flow of those packets gets interrupted. It can take a few moments for the data to catch up.

This results in slow Zoom, moments when the audio cuts in and out, where the video lags, and where the audio and video don’t sync properly. It can also lead to Zoom disconnecting. All in all – you get the dreaded Zoom “please check your network connection” error.

Zoom will perform as good as your Internet can perform. At this time, whether you’re using a laptop, a desktop computer or a mobile device, it only uses one connection at a time. Even though you may be connected to both WiFi and cellular data on your smartphone, it’ll use only one of them. So, the solution for fast, reliable and secure Internet is simple: use a secure channel bonding service, like Speedify.
