If you already have Zoom installed and are not automatically prompted to update, click Zoom.Us in the upper left-hand corner of the toolbar. Select “Check for Updates.”
Unable to check for updates due to an error? Please manually download the “Zoom Client for Meetings” from http://zoom.us/download. Continue with Step 3 below. - A dialogue box will appear. Follow the prompts.
- On the Installation Type screen, click “change install location” rather than Install.
- Select “Install for me only.”
- Follow the remaining prompts.
- Restart your computer for complete install. If you are unable to complete the Zoom update, please submit a BVCARE help ticket.
- A successful installation of the Mac “Zoom Client for Meetings” will have the icon on the left below named “zoom.us” - the icon on the right is a Chrome browser Zoom “app” which has fewer features and not the preferred client on the Mac.
- Once your installation is complete, you should be ready to participate in Zoom calls. Simply click the “Join a Meeting” option on the Zoom dashboard from inside of Canvas. Otherwise, when you launch the zoom.us application, enter the meeting ID and/or passcode when prompted (provided by your teacher).
