If you do not have Zoom installed, go to zoom.us/join from your browser, enter the ID provided by the agent and click "Login".
Note: if you get the message Allow this site to open zoommtg link? or similar when you log in, it means that Zoom is already installed.In this case you can click on "Choose application" and then on "Open link".
