The new version of Zoom now features full support for Apple Silicon hardware.
Zoom, which was updated to version 5.4.7 on Monday, offers support for Apple Silicon processors, the company stating that Zoom will release a separate installer for the app on Apple Silicon Macs.
The update also features enhanced cloud contact integration for chat and call features, enhanced nonverbal feedback and reactions, “raise hand” for host and co-host, poll report availability during live session, and more.
Although native support for Apple Silicon will undoubtedly please users with an M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or Mac mini, the Intel version of Zoom running under Rosetta 2 emulation has been cited as performing surprisingly well.
If you’ve tried the version of Zoom on an M1-based Mac, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
