On Nov. 2, Zoom will require all users to upgrade to version 5.17.5 for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. You can check your Zoom version in the desktop and mobile app and upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible.
Anyone trying to sign in or join a meeting/webinar using a version below 5.17.5 on or after Nov. 2 will be prompted to update Zoom to the current minimum version. If you are unable to update immediately, you can join through the web as an alternative.

Zoom has implemented a Software Quarterly Lifecycle Policy which requires a new minimum version of the software every three months. This policy ensures that all users have the necessary privacy and security updates and access to the latest features.
The Zoom desktop app will no longer be supporting Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 with the new 6.0.0 release. Version 5.17.11x will be the last version available for these operating systems.
The Zoom Scheduler extension, a Chrome plug-in, allows you to schedule Zoom meetings directly from your Google Calendar. Using the extension, you can start an instant meeting or schedule a future one.
