Note: Some Zoom Application updates will prompt users to download, without them having to manually update.  These prompted updates should be performed as soon as possible for security precautions.

Important: If you're using a University of Illinois managed device and you do not have administrative privileges on your computer, the Zoom in-app updates have most likely been disabled on your Zoom for meetings client.  You will need to update your Zoom client software using the Software Center(Windows) or the Managed Software Center (Mac). If you're downloading the Zoom client onto your University managed device for the first time, please visit: Client Services Support, Zoom, QuickStart for Software Center download instructions or visit: Installing Software via the Self-Service Catalog for Managed Software Center information.
