I just got a message from Zoom saying I need to update the Zoom client. I'm
going to show you how to do that. First, I am leaving this Zoom meeting and as I do that,
as I end (well, I'm ending the meeting or leaving the meeting), I get a message saying that "This
update is available." Okay, so I'm currently on 5.3.0 and the 5.3.1 is available. Now, it's got
all of this stuff in here, which i usually don't worry about: minor bug fixes. Calendar integration
sync improvement. What does that mean? If I want to dig a little bit deeper—and most people don't
want to—but if I want to dig a little bit deeper, I would go across to here in the Zoom Help Center
and have a look at the releases. And you can get to see things like "what do these releases
include?" For example, when you delete a meeting in the desktop Zoom client that's also going to
delete the calendar event on the synced calendar. Say, for example, if you've got Google Calendar,
because that's a bit annoying if you delete the meeting in Zoom but it still appears in
the Google Calendar or in Outlook, right? The Studio effects allow me to add a moustache and
a beard and lip colors and stuff like that. This feature is currently in beta so the makeup room is
still under development, by the looks of it. But there are a few other things here that are
pretty interesting. This one: the Self-select Breakout room. So a breakout room is where you
can—if you've got a meeting with a few different people—you can assign as the host you can say I
want these people in this breakout room and these ones in that breakout room. You can
actually turn this on so participants can decide which of those breakout rooms, those small rooms,
they're going to be in with other people. So, this is a really, nice, nice little feature. There are
some other things, really about appearances: especially in chat, how things appear. Things
have been read or unread for images and files and even searching the messages, because the the chat
messages are used a lot more these days. Let me go back to the meeting. After I left the meeting,
I got this message that I can update, and to do that I would just hit "Update", just like
that! And you can see how fast it's all going to happen. In fact, I'm actually going to cancel that
and I'm going to say "Not now", and the reason I'm going to do that is I'm going to show you
two other ways that I could do the update. So, way number one is to go zoom.us/download
and then you can select what you're going to be downloading, okay? Zoom Client for Meetings
and I can just download that. So I'm on an Apple Mac—on a MacBook—so if I click on Download here,
I can click on this and then follow the bouncing ball. Do I want to install this for all users of
this computer or just for me? And continue. And so on. Click Install, so that's one way of doing
it. And the other way is when I go into Zoom up the top here, I can go Zoom, Check for Updates.
Okay, About Zoom. About Zoom shows you what version you're running, and Check for Updates,
and that also gives me this dialogue: Update Available, so I don't have to do it after I
log out of a meeting. I can just simply do that Zoom, Check for Updates. And so I'll do
that update now. So that's all happening now. You see the progress bar. Then we'll be in business
and I'll just click on Install
and it's a similar dialog to the one you just saw before when I hit the Download button.
That was all good and now I can check my Zoom version. But if I go into Zoom,
About Zoom here on the top left and my Zoom version has been updated to 5.3.1,
so that should give me all of those features that were mentioned in those releases
531 and 530. [blooper] I just got a message from zoom saying that i need to update the sss [mumble]
