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

Tony is correct, if you are logged into Zoom.

If you have an iMac or MacBook, then
* Launch Zoom
* In upper-left application menu, click on "zoom.us" (see attached)
* From the dropdown menu, choose "Check for Updates"
This works whether or not you are logged into Zoom.

I've also seen Zoom suggest that you do an update.
Regards,
-steve
