There’s some advice here https://community.virginmedia.com/t5...d/td-p/4215466

It seems the child-safe filter rules might block Zoom. There are a couple of slightly badly-described workarounds in that thread, have a look and see if it fixes it for you.

Sorry ... are you using BT or Virgin? It’s not clear.

Re: zoom app not working via virgin wifi (macbook/ios)

I still have no idea what “BT homewifi are the wireless points” means, if you’re a Virgin cable subscriber and using Virgin cable internet. BT shouldn’t come into the picture at all.

If you can run Zoom with your VPN and you can’t without, then it has nothing to do with your home Wi-fi setup. Your internet service provider is blocking zoom for some reason.

BT Home WiFi works with all Broadband providers.

It’s probably like my Google Mesh WiFi.
