April Zoom Update

The Spring term continues to fly- we’re in the final month! Do you know what that means? Yep, it’s a great time to ensure that your Zoom client is up to date so that you have the most recent security patches available!

You will want to be sure to take the time to check this 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.
