Zoom Client won't update on Linux

I have a PC AMD 5700G CPU, running POP!_OS 22.04 LTS and GNOME 42.9. 

 

For the past few weeks Zoom has been behaving oddly. Trying to join a meeting through my desktop client would do nothing, but recently it won't even let me sign in. It keeps telling me to upgrade to version 5.14.4 or higher. When I download the upgrade, nothing happens, and if I try to force it in the terminal with sudo apt install zoom_amd64.deb, I get the message that the file can't be found.

 

I've also tried flatpak repair and clearing app's cache.  

 

Unfortunately, I kind of need Zoom for work. I can join through my browser, but that seems to use a lot of resources and makes my comuter unusuable, causing audio and other problems. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

could you please try to go to https://zoom.us/download and download the latest version to install? I think 5.17.11 should be work

I have the same problem on Linux Mint. Login zoom says it needs v5.5 or better. I'm running v6.0.2. Uninstalled/reinstalled Deb downloads from zoom. Still demands greater than 5.5.
