Currently and in recent years up to a week ago have been able to log in to Zoom on my home PC. However yesterday could not log and error message was - Your app version needs to be 5.16.6 or higher to sign in -
Can see my profile on the zoom website but unable to contact Technical Support. Do not know how to proceed.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Good news. After searching the net came across an older post on zoom regarding this same issue.
Have now solved the issue by uninstalling and then re-installing zoom on my PC. The re-installing was with the latest version which I can now use.
Thank you again for your help.

@SQ009 - Every quarter, Zoom updates the minimum required version for running Zoom. This is both to ensure any security updates are applied, and also because it is not possible to support an infinite number of previous versions of the software concurrently. To resolve this, go to the download center and download the latest release and install it on your PC.

Thank you for your response. Have downloaded from the website today but this shows as version 5.15.7. Therefore I still have a problem.

Version 5.17.5 is going to be the minimum version come November, and should work for you now. If you check for updates once you load it, you will be able to verify if there is a newer version you can update to as well since there may be a dependency on loading an older version before loading the next version.
