How do I update Zoom?

Updated on

Using the Zoom desktop client is recommended for all hosts of, and participants in, online course meetings via Zoom. Zoom meetings hosted via a web browser or from a mobile device (instead of the desktop client) can have limited functionality.

Why should I update my Zoom desktop client?

Updating your Zoom desktop client gives you access to new features and security settings, which are being developed very quickly. These settings and features can make class activities and interactions more effective and easier to manage.

Updating may also reduce the possibility of incompatibility between your Zoom and that of other participants in your meeting.

Be sure to recommend that your students also update their Zoom client regularly!
