[NJTechDiv] Updating Zoom

[carcione at access.net]

Hi Mario.
I've never signed in to Zoom.  I've only used accounts other people have set up.  Will it cost me to create an account?  Or will I be badgered to pay up?

Tracy, I don't know if this will work if you don't have an account and sign in via the website, but if you use the desktop app and you have setup an account, after signing in, tab until you get to your name that will probably be closed, arrow up until you hear something about checking for updates, and press enter. It will take a while, so be patient. Eventually there will be an install button that will pop up. 
The only way to find out, that I know of,  is to keep tabbing around and around occasionally. When it finally pops up, press the spacebar on it and wait until it's done. JAWS will start talking after a few seconds but will finally announce that the update is complete or something similar when JAWS calms down. This is one of those times you want to hear what JAWS has to say.

JAWS has not been scripted to accommodate this process yet, and probably won't. But hey, as long as there is a way to update, right?

Do report back if it worked or not.

I’m having issues with Zoom in some cases, mainly one class.  People say I should update Zoom, but I can’t figure out how.  Sometimes it updates automatically, but not for a while.

The only things on the Zoom page are

Join a meeting

Sign up

Sign in

Version 6.2.11

Alt doesn’t bring up anything but the system menu.

Right click doesn’t bring up anything.

My Zoom says Zoom Workplace, if that makes any difference.

I really don’t want to uninstall and install a new version, because I have a lot of audio settings for music, and I don’t want to have to start over from scratch.  My Meeting History is pretty useful, too.

Can anyone advise?

Tracy
