Keeping Zoom updated on Windows

To keep your Zoom Meetings secure, the Zoom application is frequently updated with important security fixes.

Zoom should be updated automatically. However, you can also check manually for updates!

Automatic updates

New versions of Zoom will be made available to your Windows computer within 24 hours of release by Zoom Video Communications, Inc.

Your university-owned computer will check once every hour for available Zoom updates.

If an update is available and you are not actively using Zoom, your computer will attempt to install it in the background, with no interaction required by you.

If the Zoom app is open and running on your computer when the automatic update is attempted, the update process will exit so as not to adversely impact any active Zoom meetings.
