Updating Zoom
Please be advised as from November 1, 2021, Zoom video and audio conferencing provider will be enforcing a 9-month release window. This means from that point on, users will be prompted to update their software if their version falls behind this nine-month window. This change is in line with industry practices and designed to help ensure that Zoom users receive the latest Zoom features, as well as any privacy and security enhancements they make to the platform.
To prepare for the new schedule, we recommend all zoom users to update to the latest release prior to November 1st, 2021.
If you haven’t already updated your Zoom client, please click here for Windows and Mac downloads. For mobile devices, please visit the App Store to upgrade to the latest version if you haven’t already configured automatic upgrades on your device.
How to update your Zoom desktop app that is already installed
Step 1 - Open the Zoom app on your computer. Step 2 - Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner. If you haven't changed your photo, the icon will appear as your initials inside a colored square. Step 3 - Select "Check for updates" from the dropdown menu. If you are up-to-date with your app version, a pop-up will appear to tell you so. If you are due for an update, Zoom will automatically begin to update your app and you'll momentarily be unable to start or join meetings during the update.
The update will start to downloaded once completed, click on update button.
