Zoom Client Application - Required Minimum Version

Beginning November 1, 2021, zoom users will be required to update their Zoom software to ensure it is no more than nine months behind the current version, at any given time. From that point on, users will be prompted to update their software when using the platform should their version fall behind this nine-month window.

Zoom recommends users update to the latest release supported by their organization or at minimum software version 5.5.0, prior to November 1st, 2021.

Zoom will be implementing its new Software Lifecycle Policy on November 5, 2022 (Pacific Standard Time) for all products and services, starting with the minimum versions referenced in the table below. Users who are running an end-of-life version after November 5, will not be able to join meetings via the Zoom Client and will be prompted to update, or join from the Web browser. Please note Zoom Room Controllers installed on UWP devices will not be included in this enforcement until May 2023. 

This policy will affect the following products on the following dates:
