Zoom requires that all users update their Zoom desktop client or Zoom mobile app in accordance with the Zoom Software Quarterly Lifecycle Policy.
Zoom requires a new minimum version every 3 months:
- the first weekend of February
- the first weekend of May
- the first weekend of August
- the first weekend of November
For each new enforced minimum version, the Division of IT will notify users of the next version Zoom will be enforcing and the exact date of that enforcement.
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 Zoom makes to the platform.
Actions Users Should Take
Users should update the Zoom desktop client as soon as possible, following the instructions in the Updating Zoom Desktop Client article. Zoom mobile app users should update mobile app by following the instructions in the Updating the Zoom Mobile App article.
Functionalities and Tools Affected
This change affects the Zoom desktop client, which is the Zoom application installed on the user's computer. This change also affects the Zoom mobile app installed on the user's iOS or Android device.
What Users Can Expect
Users who do not update their Zoom desktop client or mobile app will be prompted to update the Zoom client to the current minimum version before they can sign in or join a meeting/webinar.
