October 2024 Zoom Update

Can you believe we are over half way through the Fall term? That means that now is a great time to check that your Zoom client is up to date. This is important even if you primarily utilize Zoom from the web- as 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 ensure access to the most recent features and security settings. 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. Don’t want to have to remember to make the updates yourself? You can now enable auto-update.

Curious about Zoom’s approach to AI?

AI is a hot topic these days- bringing both excitement and fascination as well as some fear and nervousness. Zoom is now offering an on-demand webinar that explains how they are approaching the issue of privacy and security with AI. Check it (and webinars on other useful subjects) out on the Zoom Webinar Team site.
