From the Zoom desktop app home screen, select your username icon in the upper right corner and select Check for updates from the drop-down menu.
If an update is available, it should be downloaded automatically. Confirm that you want to install it when prompted.
Once the update app is complete, you can choose how often automatic updates occur or turn it off completely. If you don't want to perform manual updates again, consider setting it to stay updated without intervention.
