I have a user that has been trying to update to 5.11.4 from 5.9. Everyday last week were able to update and the update appeared successful. The following day however the users version had returned to 5.9 every single time. We checked to make sure there was no restore points or anything or previous versions.  I would appreciate any tips that might get us to a resolution.

    Hi @Sway 

     

    You might try a complete uninstallation, restart the device, and then try installing the newest version directly.  If using a Windows device, you can use this clean uninstaller to remove the application entirely.

    I need directions for uninstalling older version on a mac = where to find that in the zoom system and then where to find the latest version.

    Hi, I'm using Ubuntu and updated last week to the latest version 22.04 since Zoom-client doesn't work, only in the Firefox browser I can join a meeting. Via the updater of Ubuntu I re-installed Zoom-client, and it should be version 5.11.9.4300 (in a snap). But in the Zoom window that opens, it's just version 5.0.413237.0524 and it gives an error: I should update....

    Don't  know what's wrong.

    Thank's for helping.

    Problem solved:

    My solution  was:

    Remove zoom-client in the Ubuntu-software tool.

    Restart system.

    Download latest zoom version (in home/Downloads).

    Open a terminal.

    cd home/usrname/Downloads

    sudo apt install gdebi
    sudo apt autoremove
    sudo gdebi zoom_amd64.deb

     

    And I have the latest version when I open a Zoom-link.
