Older versions falling out of support

Per Zoom’s quarterly lifecycle policy, on May 4, 2024, version 5.15.5 and older of the Zoom app will no longer be supported. Version 5.15.5 was originally released on July 24, 2023, almost one full year ago. As a reminder, it is a best practice to keep your software up to date.

Users with SF State supported computers will receive updates automatically when connected to the campus network. If you need help updating your Zoom software, contact Academic Technology Services at at@sfsu.edu, via phone call to (415)405-5555, or by dropping in to LIB 80 during regular business hours.
