Resolved! AU2 policies/auto-update not working as expected

I deployed 6.0.10 to an endpoint with the following... msiexec.exe /i "ZoomInstallerFull.msi" zConfig="AU2_EnableAutoUpdate=true;AU2_SetUpdateChannel=1;AU2_EnableShowZoomUpdates=true;AU2_InstallAtIdleTime=true;AU2_EnableUpdateAvailableBanner=true;AU2... Show more

I deployed 6.0.10 to an endpoint with the following...

 

msiexec.exe /i "ZoomInstallerFull.msi" zConfig="AU2_EnableAutoUpdate=true;AU2_SetUpdateChannel=1;AU2_EnableShowZoomUpdates=true;AU2_InstallAtIdleTime=true;AU2_EnableUpdateAvailableBanner=true;AU2_EnablePromptUpdateForAU2=true;AU2_EnableUpdateSuccessNotification=true" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart /log output.log

 

Zoom installed successfully. This version was intentionally chosen as it is slightly older than the current version 6.2.5. The option above AU2_SetUpdateChannel=1 was included as I understand this should install the latest available version.

 

After waiting a few days, nothing happens on the endpoint. Zoom is open and has been running for hours, even overnight. Zoom has certainly been "idle" enough to trigger the update, but nothing is happening.

 

Separely, we also have GPO's applied to this computer (not user), which are shown below

What am I doing wrong? The documentation is unclear when talking about deprecated policies and the introduction of the newer AU2 policies.

 

I have read elsewhere that the auto-update won't work if Zoom is installed in the system context (ie C:\Program Files), not the user context (ie %appdata%). Is that correct?

 

The problem with the user context is when users don't login to that same computer for a few months (our workforce is very mobile) they will have an outdated version of Zoom in their profiles. I know, this isn't a major concern, but it plays havoc with vulnerabilities scanners. 

 

I would prefer Zoom to be installed in the system context, which is easier to manage on shared workstations. Chrome manages it by having a service or scheduled task to update itself. Heck, even Adobe has worked some black magic to allow users to upgrade Creative Cloud apps installed on the system without needing admin rights.

Zoom uses absurd amount of memory and CPU

I've been having this problem for months, but today I upgraded to version 6.2.3 (Linux, Ubuntu) and it got much worse. I was recording a Zoom meeting and I noticed lag when writing on the whiteboard. I opened `htop` and saw that Zoom was using the CPU at almost 100%, ALL the memory (that's 24 GB) and also all swap memory (2 GB). I was forced to kill Zoom and restart it. This makes Zoom practically unusable.

I run zoom for a church with 5 cameras and 6 microphones. Is there a way to make it easier to change cameras and mics rather than clicking on the little arrow and scrolling to the right device? 

 

Can I sync them so I can change the camera and the mic automatically changes as well. 

 

I would rather not use  a secondary program like OBS.

"I recently hosted a Zoom session where I shared my screen, displaying both PowerPoint slides and a browser window. During the session, everything appeared correctly on-screen, but in the recording, the shared screen appeared significantly smaller than it did in real-time. This is the first time I’ve encountered this issue. I connected from a new device for this session—could there be a setting on this device that might have caused the error? Any insights on potential causes would be appreciated."

When I'm in a meeting with several participants I like to keep Zoom in Gallery view however every time someone starts talking for more than just a short comment, it jumps to Active Speaker mode.  How do I stop that from happening?!?  I chose Gallery for a reason, why is the program deciding I made the wrong choice?!
