## TL;DR
Zoom error 1132 means the client cannot reach Zoom's servers: a firewall or proxy blocking Zoom, broken network, or an outdated client. Verify connectivity to Zoom endpoints, check the firewall, then update the client.

## The query
```text
zoom error 1132 "unable to connect": fix
```

## Use this when
- Zoom fails with error 1132
- Zoom works on one network but not another
- error started after a security software change

## Not for
- poor audio or video quality (different troubleshooting)
- meeting join failures with other codes (look up the code)
- Zoom web client issues (check the browser)

## Steps
1. Confirm the machine has working internet outside Zoom. Expected output: general connectivity fine
2. Check the firewall or proxy allows Zoom's required ports and domains. Expected output: Zoom traffic permitted
3. Temporarily test on a different network, such as a phone hotspot. Expected output: you know whether the local network is the cause
4. Update Zoom to the latest version. Expected output: client current
5. Check endpoint security software is not blocking the Zoom process. Expected output: no blocks in the EDR console
6. Retry the connection and confirm the error is gone. Expected output: successful connection
