I got a notification there were updates available for my Zoom.  I am the Owner.  When I tried to update, I got a notification that I had to be the Administrator in order to receive the Zoom updates. Can I not update my Zoom when I am the owner?

Are you using MacOS by any chance? I've encountered issues like you mention on MacOS systems, related to users' system permissions. (MacOS has an 'administrator' type user, too.)

 

If you're not on a Mac, please excuse my butting in to this thread. 🐏

yes I'm using a MAC what do I do?
