IT Professionals,
We are reaching out to let you know that on November 4, 2023, Zoom will be enforcing a new minimum version as outlined in their Quarterly Software Lifecycle Policy.
These accounts are associated with a device or devices running an older version of Zoom that will not be supported under this policy. Clients will be notified via direct email on 10/31 and asked to upgrade; those on managed devices will be directed to contact their IT Pro.
Please review the list and reach out to any of your constituents prior to the mailing and enforcement dates. Device OS (Last Client Version), username, and name data are available in the linked spreadsheet to help you further investigate.
Note: Some clients on this list may have left the university. A Zoom purge to remove those no longer affiliated with IU is conducted each summer. While they do not have access to Zoom, inactive clients may still appear on these reports as cleanup is done on an annual basis.
Clients who do not upgrade their Zoom client by November 4 will be unable to join meetings until Zoom has been updated. Zoom is available and actively maintained in both SCCM and Jamf. You can also visit the Zoom Download Center for the latest versions of Zoom.
We highly recommend enabling automatic updates to ensure clients are running the latest version of Zoom.
If you have questions regarding Zoom, please contact edshelp@iu.edu.
