One of the new enhancements in the latest version of Zoom, version 5.0.0, requires all users to update their desktop client by May 30. I encourage all UCLA users to review Zoom’s summary of the latest updates, as well as UCLA’s latest guidance for using Zoom, and to update your desktop client today.

On Sunday, May 31, 2020, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., UCLA IT Services will be performing maintenance to the authentication servers for off-campus eduroam users. Off-campus eduroam users are those that connect to eduroam at an external institution using their @ucla.edu credentials. A brief service interruption for new authentication attempts to eduroam for off-campus users could be expected during the maintenance window. On-campus eduroam users are not affected during this maintenance.
