Zoom Update Required by Nov. 5

A different Zoom

From IT Services: ...The Zoom app (desktop and mobile) must be updated to 5.8.6 or greater before Saturday, November 5, 2022. This requirement is enforced by Zoom to align with industry practice and is designed to help ensure that Zoom users receive the latest Zoom features, as well as any privacy and security enhancements made to the platform.

Once this change is made on November 5th, you will be unable to start or join a Zoom meeting unless your Zoom app is updated to version 5.8.6 or greater.  If you are hosting a meeting or webinar during the upgrade period, your meeting/webinar will end and need to be restarted. Customers who are not on version 5.8.6 or greater will be prompted to update the Zoom meeting client to the current minimum version before they can sign in or join a meeting/webinar. If unable to immediately update, they will be provided the option to join a meeting through the web client instead. Users will only receive a notification if the Zoom client is below the minimum version...

Note: Yours truly didn't find the directions for updating contained in the announcement particularly helpful, although he did succeed (he thinks) in implementing the update. So, it's best not to wait until the last minute to upgrade.
