July 2022 Zoom Update

Time is flying and we are already halfway through summer! This halfway point is a great time to ensure that your Zoom client is up to date so that you have the most recent features and 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.

New for July

Breakout Rooms: Search for Rooms and Participants

Scrolling through lists of breakout rooms and participants when you are trying to get started with a breakout session can be time consuming and take away valuable learning/collaboration time. Zoom has helped reduce this issue with the introduction of the ability to search by room name or participant name to get everyone in the right place faster! As long as you have the updated version of your Zoom client, you will find this functionality in your next meeting!

Whiteboard Training Sessions

If you’ve ever wanted to become more proficient in your use of Zoom’s whiteboard option, or get some tips and tricks, Zoom now has training options available. You can sign up for free live sessions or view on-demand options in their training center.
