Zoom is constantly under construction, with updates providing new and improved features and functionality. One of the most asked for features of Zoom is allowing students to move from one breakout room to another. This is now possible, as of Zoom version 5.3. In order to benefit from the functionality of the latest Zoom version, all of the participants need the latest version. Students will not be able to choose their own breakout room, for example, if they are still using a version of Zoom prior to 5.3.
The easiest way to upgrade your version of Zoom is through the Zoom menu.
- Open the Zoom application.
- Click the Zoom menu item at the top left of your screen.
- Select Check for Updates from the drop down menu.
A second way to check for updates is in the Zoom application interface:
Click on your portrait at the top right of the Zoom App, and select Check for Updates
The dialog window that appears will let you know whether you are up to date, and also indicates what has changed in the most recent versions:
Click Update to install the most current version of Zoom.
Now when you check for updates through the Zoom menu, you will receive a message that you are up to date:
If you plan to use any of the new functionalities in your Zoom sessions, please request that all students update to the latest version.
Look for upcoming tips on how to take advantage of some of the new features of Zoom 5.3!
