**Description**  
I started getting a 403 Forbidden error on the Zoom website after I cleared my Cookies and Cache on Chrome.

I get the same error when I click “Plans & Pricing”, “Join a Meeting”, “Host a Meeting”, “Sign In”.

**Error**  
403 Forbidden Error

Any ideas on resolving this issue? Thank you!

Nevermind, I resolved this by clearing the Cookies and Cache on the Zoom page itself. You can close this thread.

What worked for me was going to the Zoom sign-in page, right-click on the page -\> “Inspect” -\> “Network” tab -\> Refresh the page -\> Right-click on the first item “signin” -\> “Clear browser cache” and “Clear browser cookies”

You can also try clearing the site-specific Cookies and Cache. Go to chrome://settings/siteData and in the Search bar on the right, type “Zoom” and delete any related items.

HI Tommy, I deleted the app, logged out of the zoom scheduler extension on chrome, cleared all zoom cache and rebooted and finally it worked again. Reinstalled the app as well.  
Thanks!
