Hi Kdane,


We wouldn't be able to speculate as to why Zoom isn't available to download directly through the App Store on your Mac. I definitely understand wanting to keep your data and personal information as safe as possible. Gatekeeper on your Mac can help ensure that apps not downloaded directly through the App Store are from identified developers, and that the software is notarized to help prevent downloading apps that contain known malware:

Beyond that, I'd suggest taking a look how Zoom specifically protects your data, to help decide if it's an app you feel comfortable downloading outside of the App Store:

Take care.

Hello Kdane,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're wanting to install Zoom on your Mac, however you're unable to find it in the App Store. I know how important it is that you're able to keep in touch with others, and you've come to the right place for help.


The Zoom app can be downloaded directly from the Zoom Download Center by following the steps here:
