Zoom needs an internet connection for most core features like video calls and messaging. However, if you're asking about internal use within a private domain (like a company intranet), you'd likely need a custom enterprise setup, and even then, limited functionality might work offline or via local servers—but that would require direct coordination with Zoom’s enterprise support team. So short answer: not really offline by default, but it may be possible in a limited, custom enterprise environment.
