Zoom complaint: Error in joining the meeting

See, my main issue with zoom is tht they have this periodically irritating updates but neither o them solve their meeting joining issue. Its a recent development in my area where i cannot join a meeting because of how much time it takes to connect. My internet is perfecet and these disruptions are so extremely abstractly timed that it becomes very difficult for me to find an alternative way to joim. The situation had become such that for one of my exams i had to join from my phone since the laptop was not connecting effectively making me miss atleast 10 of the 40 mins i had yto write.
This issue is persistent and the problem is that is refuses to go away after restarting the laptop,redownloading zoom or logging in again.
Particularly irritating since what is the point of dding zoom apps and all of that is the simple VC which zoom is so famous for gives issues.
