Action Needed: If You Haven’t Already Done So, Update Zoom Software on Your Agency Computer

This message was emailed to staff on July 10 and is being repeated here for your information. 

On July 8, Zoom announced there was a vulnerability in its software which could have allowed a user to join a meeting without clicking a “Join Meeting” link. Zoom quickly released an update to their software to fix this vulnerability. We ask that all Heartland AEA staff update their Zoom software to this latest version.

 To update your Zoom software, be sure the Zoom application is closed. Once you open it, you should see a notification to update. 

Click “Update” and then click “Install” once the update has downloaded. Zoom will then reboot to the latest version and should be ready to use. The new version is labeled Version 4.4.4 (53932.0709). 

If you have any questions or need assistance with this update, contact David Hammer, Multimedia Specialist, at ext. 14342.
