# Using Zulip on Windows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zulip has a Windows client, compatible with Windows versions 7, 8 and 10; it is identical in
|
||
|
|
functionality to the Zulip web application. The client
|
||
|
|
can be download through the [Zulip website](https://zulip.org/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The client is regularly updated and is a wrapper of the web application, but with enhanced
|
||
|
|
notifications and can run in the background. The current version does not contain
|
||
|
|
any significant features additional to those in the web application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
**Note:** Since Zulip is no longer running on a browser, many external keyboard shortcuts
|
||
|
|
endemic to a browser will no longer work, for example, ALT-LEFT to go back to the previous page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Connecting to a server
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you open the Zulip client for the first time, you will come across a screen
|
||
|
|
asking for your organizations's server address on Zulip. Enter your organization's
|
||
|
|
address and press the **Connect** button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!!! warn ""
|
||
|
|
There's no need to add `https://` in the case that your server is running a secure
|
||
|
|
HTTP (HTTPS) protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, if your server uses an insecure HTTP connection, you'll have to
|
||
|
|
write `http://` manually. A message will appear, warning you about the risks
|
||
|
|
of using this type of connections. In case you have no other choice, choose the
|
||
|
|
**Use HTTP** option.
