Zoom Workplace Quarterly Updates 


Zoom logo with zoom screen

As a reminder, Zoom requires quarterly updates for all desktops, laptops, and mobile users. This policy will ensure you have the best online classroom and meeting experience with the Zoom Workplace product. 

August 3 was the most recent quarterly update.
For more information, visit OIT’s Zoom Quarterly Lifecycle Policy webpage.  

Please note that the minimum client version enforcement is an effort to ensure that each leader and participant has the most secure and successful online experience with Zoom Workplace. The latest client version contains feature updates, security enhancements, and application fixes. If the client version falls below the minimum, you will be prompted to update Zoom Workplace when you attempt to join your next meeting. 

Users running a Zoom Workplace client older than the following operating systems will be affected: 

  • 5.16.6 (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Intune) 
  • 5.16.0 (Blackberry) 

To update the Zoom Workplace desktop application: 

  1. Log in to the desktop application. 
  2. Select the profile image at the top-right of the application window. Your profile could be your initials or a picture you uploaded. 
  3. Choose the option to Check for Updates* and follow the prompts on the screen. 
    *If you downloaded Zoom Workplace from the Microsoft Store, you will not see the Check for Updates option. The Microsoft Store updates the Zoom Workplace app automatically.
