Is there any way to disable the upgrade prompt in the Linux client? When a new release is available directly from the Zoom website a prompt is displayed in the client saying "A new version is available! Update"
Our users all use Ubuntu 22.04 and have Zoom installed from the Ubuntu repository through the package manager.
If users click on the prompt within Zoom they can select their Linux type and download the new release from the Zoom website.
When they install the .deb file they have downloaded from the Zoom website a second version of Zoom is installed alongside the existing one.
Is there any way to disable the upgrade prompt from within our account settings?
Solved! Go to Solution.

No, none that is published.
There are ways to script and manage the greater problem (duplicate installation), but to answer your initial question, there is no method to disable the alert that has been published on Zoom's KB or any Linux forum that I've read. Possible that there exists an install flag or pkg-mod with this setting disabled that would persist across installations, but it's not public knowledge - you'd need to poke around on the back-end.
Please consider submitting a formal request to Zoom Support to get this on the development roadmap.
