How to turnoff automatic updates

Hi:

 

I want to turnoff automatic updates for the Zoom client.  I found this article: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4413422750861-Automatic-update-release-frequencies

 

However, the local Zoom app does not have the referenced checkbox "Automatically keep Zoom up to date."  at Settings > General page. 

 

How to turn off auto updates?

 

Thank you!

Bob H.

hi bob h,

 

i followed the instructions in the support document.

'How to enable automatic updates and set update cadence
By default, automatic update is enabled in standard installation packages (EXE, DMG), and disabled in mass distribution packages for managed systems (MSI, PKG). This can be manually controlled in the desktop client settings.

Sign in to the Zoom desktop client.
Click your profile picture, then click Settings.
On the General tab in the Zoom Updates section, click the check box to enable/disable Automatically keep Zoom up to date.
Click the dropdown menu to select how often you would like to have updates installed:
Slow: (Default) Provides fewer updates and better stability.
Fast: Provides the newest features and updates.'

 

please see attached screen print.

 

thanks,  eliot
