App seen on a Mac, smart phone or I pad (It may be different for Windows)

 

Check to make sure that you have the most recent version of Zoom installed   Version 5.10.4 (6592).   If not, update it the same as you would any other app you have installed on your computer, tablet or smart phone.  In the upper left hand corner click on zoom.us and then click "check for updates".

  • For first time Zoom on your devices, you will see these multiple prompts to download it.
