In response to the most recent security vulnerabilities posted by Zoom, UTS will be updating the Zoom minimum version on Thursday, August 7 at 8 PM.

If your current version does not meet the minimum requirements, you may be prompted to install an update before launching the app. 

Follow these instructions to check if your Zoom app meets the new minimum requirements: 

  • Windows: 6.5.3 
  • Mac: 6.5.3 
  • Linux: 6.5.3 
  • iOS: 6.4.10 
  • Android: 6.5.3 
  • VDI: 6.3.13 
  • Zoom Rooms: 6.5.1  

If your Zoom app does not meet these minimum requirements, ensure a smooth experience on August 7 by allowing enough time for the Zoom app update or consider updating manually in advance at your convenience. Instructions on how to update Zoom are here. 

Zoom Rooms will also be updated. These updates may take up to one hour. Plan ahead and ensure you upgrade in advance to avoid any delays during scheduled meetings. See instructions.

If your device is a managed device, your local IT support may need to update Zoom for you. If you are unable to update your Zoom app, you may need to contact your local IT support.

Stay informed about Zoom news, FAQs, and learning opportunities by visiting: UTS Zoom Page.
For support, please contact UTS or your local IT department

Note: If you use Zoom in a web browser, no update is necessary.
