Remember to check for Zoom updates regularly!

Zoom regularly new releases, including meeting features and bug fixes. Your Zoom app does not automatically update. To install the latest Zoom version, click on your picture or icon in the Zoom app, and select "check for updates".

What is the risk of running and participating in a Zoom meeting on an outdated Zoom app? Not all the features will be available to everyone.
