Have you updated your Zoom lately?

Did you know Zoom is constantly updating? These updates come with all kinds of amazing features.

Before we get to features, make sure you have updated your Zoom client. Client is just the fancy word for little desktop thingy that runs Zoom.

Find this icon somewhere on your computer and click. Make sure you have logged in with your school Google account.

Click on your head in the upper right corner.

Click Check for Updates.

Run and install these updates.

Next time you are in a meeting, click the Security button.

Check out the new option! To read more about it, see the Zoom blog. The short version is this will stop all breakout rooms, audio, video, chat, annotations, and screen sharing instantly. This can come in handy from time to time. I could see myself using it when I lose track of time and need everyone back in the main room right away.
