administratively prevent the use of older versions. If you are still using an older version than 5.14.10, you will only be able to hold further Zoom meetings with your desktop client after an update. We recommend updating to the current version (currently 5.14.11).
- How do I find out the version number of my Zoom Desktop Client?
- Start your Zoom Desktop Client.
- Click on your profile picture in the top right-hand corner, then <help> / <About Zoom>.
(if you don't have a profile picture, you will probably see your initials there).
- How do I perform the update?
- Start your Zoom Desktop Client.
- Click on your profile picture in the top right-hand corner, then <search for updates>.
(if you don't have a profile picture, you'll probably see your initials there).
If the menu item <check for updates> does not appear for you, then you have a really! old version and please download the latest version of the "Zoom Client for Meetings" from uni-ulm.zoom.us/download.
If you manage your computer yourself, you can configure your Zoom Client for automatic updates: blog.zoom.us/get-automatic-updates-in-the-zoom-client/
