Zoom, Minimum client version requirement

This document provides information about the minimum required Zoom client version and the notification users will see if they are out of compliance.

Technology Services requires users to update their Zoom client to a minimum version in order to patch security issues as well as introduce new features. The minimum version is determined by Zoom's security bulletin information in order to patch issues with a severity rating scored as High or Critical.

Note: The minimum client requirement only affects Illinois Zoom users. This does not affect external attendees joining Illinois Zoom meetings.
