TECH UPDATES:

SEE WHAT'S NEW WITH ZOOM

Zoom will enforce a new minimum version each quarter with its Quarterly Life Cycle Policy. Starting in November, Zoom will require version 5.8.6 or higher. Please check your Zoom version and update to the latest version if necessary. If you are unable to see the update option within the Zoom app, your app is automatically being updated by the Office of Information Technology and no action is needed.

Zoom has expanded polls to include advanced polling and quizzes which allows for eight different question types, the ability to require questions, and use images. Also, polls and quizzes can be shared between your meetings using the new Polls/Quizzes Library.

The Zoom Waiting Room now has the option to sort participants by “join order”. Instead of being listed alphabetically, this “join order” update arranges participants in order of who joined first. Additionally, two-way chat is now available in the waiting room.

Automated captions are now available in multiple languages including Spanish, French, and German.
