IT Professionals,
The eLearning Services team (eLS) wants to inform you of an upcoming change to Zoom.
Beginning November 1, 2021, all Zoom [1] users will be required to update their software to ensure it is no more than nine months behind the current version at any given time.
After November 1, Zoom users will be prompted to update their software if their version falls behind this nine-month window [2].
Please ensure that any managed machines are updated in preparation for this change.
To avoid service disruption, it is recommended that users upgrade to the latest Zoom release [3] prior to November 1st. Users are encouraged to regularly check for and download updates to Zoom to ensure they have access to the latest security and functionality features.
As always, we will continue to provide timely communication/additional information concerning future updates.
