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).
