You Must Update Zoom on Your Laptop, Computer, iPad or Phone By 31 May 2020

 

Zoom is updating their software to improve security.  Your current installation will not work after 31 May unless you installed after the end of April.  This means that if you have not updated, the first time you sign in or try to join after 31 May you will be delayed while Zoom updates for you.  Depending on the version you are using the update may be different.  For full (signed in) versions where you have a "Profile" in the upper right corner of your screen you can just click that.  You will then see a list of items and far down the list you will see "Check for Updates".  Just click that item and Zoom will look after the rest.

If this doesn't work for you just go directly to the Zoom Download Center  https://zoom.us/download .  For most of you with Laptops or console computers the top item "Zoom Client for Meetings" is the one to choose.  For iPhones and other cells go far down the page where the heading is Zoom Mobile Apps and there you can link to the Apple App Store or the Google Play store where the new app will download and install.

You are probably aware from the press and from our own experience that there have been security problems with Zoom security.  This new software and other changes that you will notice, like the use of Waiting Rooms and random names within the joining message, are being made to improve the security of Zoom
