[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Zoom software updates

Bob,

I don't know whether the 5.16.10 version you cited below refers to an 
iMac update.

If it does not, then I would like to mention that I just updated my 
iMac's version:

  *  From 5.16.2 to 5.16.10
  * By using a subset of Drew's video-instructions, namely:
      o Launching ZOOM on my iMac (see SNIP below)
      o Clicking on my Avatar icon "TG" in upper right corner of ZOOM
        window, and
      o Clicking on "Check updates" in the pop up window

The "Check updates" click initiated and completed automatically the 
installation of version 5.16.10 (with no further intervention from me).

Tony
