This is how I got this problem fixed.


1) Uninstall all the zoom apps for all users.

2) In the System Preferences, go Users and Groups, and create new login account.

3) Login as the one you just created.

4) Download the latest version of zoom.

5) When you install, chose "Only for this user" (wording might not be exactly the same)

6) Open Zoom

7) Logoff from the temporary user, logon as your original user and open zoom.

8) Try to see if you can use zoom.

9) Delete the temporary user as necessary.


Hope this will work.

Not entirely sure if we can post that in the forums so I just put my email on my profile. If for some reason its removed before you see it you can put it on your Google Drive and share the file by sharing the file and posting the link on here and btw I have found a workaround for the 1132 Error code last night but its a bit finicky. Working on writing the detailed instructions and getting the files together that you'll need. I just want to see if this would be easier (which I know it will ) cause I use to have the App Script as well but it got misplaced during the few years I didn't have a Mac.

I have the same problem, and all solution above do not work, Zoom do not recognize that error code, and zoom customer service of zoom avoid any complain about it. The reason is simple :

Zoom Error Code 1132 Is Zoom’s Ability To Block Your Devices Mac (Media Access Control Address) Address. Because Of Zoom’s Ability To Block Those 2 Unique Device Identifiers. It Prevents People From Ever Using Zoom On That Device Ever Again Without Software Modifications Done To The Users Device. We know already how Zoom was malicious, and it does not stop there. But I m curious to Know is it that legal to do so ? as any others user of my mac will have the same problem, because the mac adress is unique for each device. And after so many problem i do not understand we cannot find any comment from apple ???? thanks

Thanks, but this is just an alternative, i will like to know how Zoom detect the MAC adress, is it via a malicious program instore in our system because from outside it make no sense as they got to link a name to mac adress, and taking the risk to block a device that was use not by the owner....And because Zoom and Apple are silence about it, it make it even more suspicious....

Thanks to all of you for the feedback. I find this whole situation very disturbing - the fact that Zoom can actually block a device from ever using it's software! In my case, I can't use Zoom on my iPhone - although I am able to still use my iPad. What happens if they block my iPad?


Even more amazing - that their customer support is completely non-responsive! That said, if customer support responds, they will have to acknowledge that they are definitely blocking devices - and that may open them up for liability.
