I have to check for updates every time I Zoom since they are doing so many of them, It is weird that there is no auto update or auto notification of updates in Zoom. Weird. Char

I use the "check for updates" feature. Open Zoom Click on your picture / your profile See "Check for Updates" 4 from the bottom. I do have a "paid" version at the lowest level. Louise Smith

Thank you Alan. We have used both Google Meets and Zoom during the past 2 years. We’ve decided to purchase the Zoom Pro program for the chapter because it just seems to work better for us.

If anyone experienced problems after updating to Zoom version 5.7.7, Zoom released 5.7.8, which seems to fix all the crazies that happened after the .7 update. Issues ran the gamut from freezing,

I would love to use Live Listen, but it appears Phonak is the only hearing aid it doesn’t work with. I tested HeardThat (Which I think is the name.) because they had a free app for people to test it
