In this case, there’s more to do and understand… Three Settings in Two Places Unless you (as IT Support) are walking around from machine to machine, manually installing the software with your users using the EXE (unlikely), or your users are expected to download, install, and manage the software themselves (also unlikely), you’re likely using the MSI to install Zoom.
The user will also notbe able to use “Check for Updates” via the Zoom application itself. By default, the user cannotupdate the software themselves unless they are an Administrator on the computer and the installation will notperform any version checking on its own. The MSI installer assumes that the software is being installed administratively by the user’s IT Support Group and that it will be updated by them.This installation will also, by default, check the version of the software when it is run and alert the user when a newer version is available. The EXE installer assumes that the person installing the software is the user and will install the software into the user’s \AppData\Roaming\ profile directory, available only to the user and able to be updated by the user, whether they are an Administrator or not.The first thing we need to understand is that the behaviors around Zoom’s Auto Update are different depending on whether the software was installed with the interactive EXE installer or the administrative MSI installer: What follows is an explanation of what isthere now.
However, with options added to recent versions, it’s getting closer. The user must interact with the update process there is no service running in the background keeping the software up-to-date. Please review how to check your current Zoom client version and update Zoom if it is below version 5.8.6.If there’s one thing we can say for certain about Zoom’s “Auto Update” feature on Windows is that it’s not an auto-update. We highly recommend you regularly download and update to the latest version of Zoom software to take advantage of all the latest security and functionality features. However, there may be additional updates outside of this release window to address larger security or compliance features.
On that same schedule, they will announce the minimum version required across products and services for the next scheduled enforcement in order to provide three (3) months notice. Users who are running version 5.8.6 or below after November 5 will not be able to join meetings via the Zoom Client and will be prompted to update, or join from the Web browser. This will take effect on November 5, 2022.
Zoom plans to implement a new Software Lifecycle Policy in which they will block client versions below a minimum version, and enforce a minimum version on a quarterly schedule - the first weekend of November, February, May, and August.
