My interpretation of all these events is that (1) Zoom had been continuing to allow for use by XP devices 'on the down-low,' while skirting any official support to XP users and (2) these two issues (that apparently emerged mid-August 2022) are XP-specific and Zoom, given its current market situation, has decided not to devote any more resources to coding server-side XP workarounds.

Please check your network and try again' (even though my wired network connection was rock-solid). Also, after about 2 minutes, I was thrown out of the meeting and received the message 'Network connection failure. However in joining a meeting earlier today (early October, 2022) using XP + 5.0.5 I had no audio (despite the menu option 'Test speaker and microphone' incorrectly confirming that audio was functioning correctly). Mid July, 2022 I used an XP SP3 device + 5.0.5 to successfully join a Zoom meeting. One might well wonder why this would be all be the case if Zoom had entirely abandoned XP way-back-when. That is all true as of the date of this reply. And you can use it to enter a test meeting (at ). 5.0.5 as a file named 'ZoomInstallerXP.' And if you download it, it will install. Note however if you attempt to join a meeting using an XP device, Zoom will offer to download a client installer for v. Yes, officially Windows XP has been stated as not supported for quite some time.
