It has been a quiet Summer for Zoom users, however as we return to the classroom for Fall- and for many, offices you have not used since the start of the pandemic- now is a great time to make sure that your Zoom client is up to date in order to make sure you have the most recent bug fixes and all the features you have been using from home! You will want to be sure to check for updates- even if you primarily utilize Zoom from the web. This is because Zoom accesses the on-device client in order to operate your camera, mic, and meeting controls, making it important to have the most recent version to prevent any in-meeting issues.
More information on how to update your client can be found via Zoom’s support site: Update your Zoom Client. Note, if you do not have the Zoom client pinned to your computer desktop or dock, you may need to follow these directions to locate the program on your computer.
New Feature: The Coffee Cup
Need to step away from your meeting or class for a moment and want to make sure other attendees are aware without needing to interrupt the speaker verbally or via chat? Your solution is here! Zoom has added a coffee cup icon to indicate that a user is temporarily away. The coffee cup can be found with the other Non-Verbal feedback options in the Zoom meeting controls for users who have installed the most recent version of the Zoom app.
