How to Download and Update Zoom App on Mac

Zoom isn't available in the Mac App Store, so you need to download it directly onto your Mac, just like for Windows. Once installed, you can update Zoom using a few simple methods.

To start, ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of Zoom from the official website. You can do this by going to 'www.zoom.us'(http://www.zoom.us) and clicking on the 'Download' button. Then, follow these steps:

1. Run through the installation process again, even if Zoom is already installed on your Mac.

2. Go to your Downloads folder and open the 'Zoom.pkg' package installer.

Alternatively, you can force an update by re-downloading and re-installing Zoom from scratch. This method may be more reliable than relying on the automatic updater, which can sometimes fail.

If the update fails or is not working as expected, there are a couple of other methods you can try to get your Zoom app updated:

1. Pull down the 'Zoom' menu and choose 'Check for Updates,' then follow the prompts to install the latest version.

2. Try clicking on the 'Update' button at launch, which may allow you to successfully update Zoom.

Updating Zoom is essential to ensure that you can join meetings, host them, or use the app at all. If your Zoom app is outdated, you won't be able to use it, so it's important to keep it updated regularly.

In this article, we've covered two ways to update Zoom on a Mac: the usual method and an alternative method for when the update fails or isn't working as expected. By following these steps, you should be able to get your Zoom app up to date and running smoothly on your Mac.
