- In order to optimize cloud storage capacity, Adobe is implementing a new process for deleted files in Creative Cloud storage. Starting June 4, 2023, newly deleted files will be retained for 30 days and then permanently removed. Deleted files stored for over 30 days in the Deleted folder prior to this date will also be permanently removed.
- On a quarterly basis, Zoom will require everyone to use a recently updated Zoom client to continue hosting and participating in Zoom meetings. This change is being implemented to improve security, stability, and support. Those running unsupported Zoom clients will be prompted to update Zoom or join meetings from the web browser.
- Zoom has identified an issue within recurring meetings created in Outlook calendar. (Please note that non-recurring meetings are not affected by this issue.) In some cases, recurring meetings are not recognized by Zoom as recurring, therefore the Zoom link created is invalid.
- Zoom recently released Zoom 5.0, setting a new standard in video communications security. As of May 30, 2020, all Zoom desktop applications running older versions will be required to upgrade to Zoom 5.0, as new encryption will be fully enabled across the Zoom platform (you will not be able to use the Zoom app after May 30 until you've updated to 5.0)
- As of September 27, if you do not have a passcode on an existing Zoom meeting, a waiting room will be enabled by default. Now, newly created Zoom meetings will require either a passcode or a waiting room.
