Please take a minute soon to:
- Update the Zoom client on your computer so you do not have trouble joining Zoom meetings and have access to the latest Zoom features and security fixes.
- Set your Zoom client to update automatically so you stay up-to-date. We recommend choosing the “Slow” option which provides a bit of time between when new updates are released and when they are installed which enhances stability.
Mobile Device Note: Zoom updates on mobile devices (iOS and Android) are typically handled automatically through the App Store or Google Play Store. Ensure your phone’s automatic updates are enabled to receive the latest Zoom version (App Store, Play Store).
Why Update?
Every 3 months, Zoom enforces a new minimum version requirement for the Zoom client. If you have an outdated version, you will be unable to log in or join meetings until you update (see the Zoom Software Quarterly Lifecycle Policy for details). Additionally, Zoom is regularly releasing security fixes and new features. With an up-to-date Zoom client, you can more fully participate in Zoom meetings.
How to Update Zoom on Your Windows or Mac Computer:
- Open the Zoom application on your computer.
- In the window’s top-right corner, click on your profile picture or initials and select Check for Updates.
- If an update is available, a prompt will appear indicating the available version and automatically start to download it. Once it is downloaded, an Install option will appear with options to defer if needed. Click Install.
- Once installed, Zoom will automatically close and re-launch with the updated version.
