Zoom Meeting Visual Refresh Update

Beginning April 14, 2024, Zoom will be updating the visual and functional user experience in the new version, 6.0. You will need to update your desktop Zoom app. On your personally-owned computer, click the profile picture or your initials and then scroll down to Check for Updates. Proceed with the instructions provided by Zoom. For a computer managed by Ohio State, follow the update instructions from your desktop support team.

The Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) has been hard at work between autumn and spring semesters to update our tools and services. This round of continual improvement projects included added security measures for eLearning tools, improved synchronization of identity data, and a focus on accessibility awareness. You and your students should also be aware of upcoming changes to Wi-Fi at Ohio State and potential issues with email forwarding.

Beginning this spring, students, staff and faculty may notice a change in their displayed pronouns in CarmenCanvas and CarmenZoom. These two tools will begin pulling pronoun information from my.osu.edu, the Ohio State app, Buckeye Link (for students), and Workday (for faculty and staff). Any pronouns that had been designated natively in Carmen and Zoom will remain if you have not selected pronouns in a major university system.

By now, we all have had time to familiarize ourselves with CarmenZoom. While we have all surely had a meeting or two on the platform, many students and staff alike are unaware of the continually improving accessibility features offered through Zoom. Let’s take some time to dive a bit deeper into what Zoom has to offer, and how it can benefit you.
