Zoom mandates client updates every ninety days

TL;DR

A support document published late last week explains that Zoom's plan is "in line with industry practices and designed to help ensure that Zoom users receive the latest Zoom features, as well as any privacy and security enhancements we make to the platform."The minimum client requirement means older versions of the Zoom client just won't work – users will be forced to upgrade or use Zoom's web client.This is where things get confusing, because Zoom offers three different versions of its client:Fast Track – a release that installs automatically for users that enable auto-update and offers Zoom's latest tweaks.Prompted Versions – Zoom occasionally checks the version a user is running and prompts them to upgrade to the latest version available (if AutoUpdate is disabled), or the Slow or Fast version set by Zoom (if AutoUpdate is enabled).Here's a study into it- Fake sites fool Zoom users into downloading deadly code- Microsoft and Meta promise facehugger PCs piping cloud desktops into VR headsets- It's 2023, let's check in with the metaverse... Nope, still doesn't existZoom hasn't explained how it will pick a minimum version, but will reserve the right to nominate a new one more frequently than each 90 days."
