If you haven’t updated your Mac’s version of Zoom, it’s time to do so.
A Zoom update appears to fix a bug that stopped a Mac’s mic from being disabled after a meeting had ended. Version 5.9.3 of the videoconferencing software is out now, and it’s easy enough to install.
A Zoom representative
confirmed the issue with the orange indicator light, which usually signals a mic is active, and that version 5.9.3 fixed it:
We experienced a bug relating to the Zoom client for macOS, which could show the orange indicator light continue to appear after having left a meeting, call, or webinar. This bug was addressed in the Zoom client for macOS version 5.9.3 and we recommend you update to version 5.9.3 to apply the fix.
To install the update:
- Open Zoom on your Mac
- Click on the ‘zoom.us’ menu
- Scroll down and click ‘Check for Updates’
- Follow on-screen instructions
Zoom had previously been tagged with $85 million in damages following claims that the company lied about offering users end-to-end encryption.
As such, it’s definitely a good idea to snag the updated version.
