This page includes specific documentation for participating in Zoom meetings and webinars. (It is a non-exhaustive list, and you should refer to the Zoom Support site or the ITS Knowledge Base for additional documentation.) This information is applicable if you are joining someone else’s meeting or webinar or hosting your own. If you are hosting your meetings/webinars, refer to Hosting Meetings and Webinars.
Anyone joining a U-M Zoom meeting or webinar (including external guests) using the Zoom desktop or mobile app (i.e., not by browser or phone call) will be required to use version 6.1.0 or newer of the Zoom app. Anyone not using this version or newer will be required to update their app before joining. Learn more about this requirement and what participants will experience if their app is too out-of-date.
