Zoom Software Update

This article details the steps required to update your Zoom software client. The first option shows a simple update from the Zoom client directly. The second option shows the update using software center in cases where a simple update is not possible. The third option shows a manual uninstall and reinstall for users who are unable to complete the update using the first two options.

Option 1: In order to update your Zoom client, please open the Zoom software on your computer and then click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the Zoom window. In the menu that appears, select the option for "Check for Updates".
