How to Download and Install the Latest Zoom Update

Are you looking to update your Zoom client on Linux? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through the process of downloading and installing the latest Zoom update.

Before we begin, make sure you have downloaded the correct package for your Linux distribution. You can do this by visiting the Zoom Download Center and selecting the appropriate file for your system.

Once you have downloaded the package, verify its authenticity using the following command:

`rpm -K ~/Downloads/zoom_x86_64.rpm`

A successful outcome should indicate that the file is valid and signed. Next, import the GPG public key to your local keyring using the following command:

`sudo rpm -import ~/Downloads/package-signing-key.pub`

Proceed with the package validation by running the following command:

`sudo apt install dpkg-sig && dpkg-sig -verify ~/Downloads/zoom_b`

If everything checks out, you can now import the GPG public key to your local keyring using the following command:

`gpg -import ~/Downloads/package-signing-key.pub`

For Linux users, it is recommended to update this key directly from Zoom. However, if you are using signature validation, you will need to download the package- signing-key. pub file by clicking on the link provided in the Download Center.

Note that prior versions of Zoom (before 5.12.6) will not be impacted by this change. However, for users running version 5.12.6 or above, the Linux and Docker GPG signature thumbprint has changed. You must download the new public key before attempting to upgrade to version 5.12.6, otherwise you will be unable to install this update.

To avoid service disruption, it is recommended that Linux users download and trust the new public key before November 2nd. After this date, Zoom will retire the current key pair used to sign the Zoom desktop client for Linux.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure a secure and up-to-date Zoom experience on your Linux system. Happy updating!
