Symptom

If you have already installed Zoom on your device, but the "Enter Waiting Room" button does nothing, you may want to check that JavaScript is enabled. 

  • An indicator might be that the "Enter Waiting Room" button loads as white, but that may also be dependent on the color scheme chosen by your provider.

Possible Causes

Almost all buttons on SecureVideo.com require JavaScript to work. Please see instructions below on re-enabling JavaScript.

  • Firefox does not offer a way to disable JavaScript in the normal user interface, although if you have an extension you use to disable JavaScript, please enable JavaScript there, and/or add an exception for [*].securevideo.com 
  • Legacy Edge does not currently allow you to disable JavaScript (although the newer Chromium Edge does allow you to disable JavaScript).
