Zoom With Support for Apple Silicon Set to Launch Today

[MacRumors]

Popular videoconferencing app Zoom is due to be updated with native support for Apple Silicon Macs today.

A Zoom support document, spotted by 9to5Mac, contains release notes for an update scheduled to be released today. The most notable update is support for Apple Silicon processors, and Zoom will release a separate installer for the app on Apple Silicon Macs.

The update also includes 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 performed surprisingly well.

Holy moly—I presumed it was already optimised because of how fast and how much battery life I was getting.

Not malware. Just that Zoom employees are capable of monitoring your video sessions and have used this to disrupt certain meetings of a more politically-sensitive nature.

You first need to buy an AS Mac, otherwise it will stay at Intel

I regard Zoom, in itself, as malware:

It’s actually an Apple Silicon specific version rather than a Universal

[vhayda]

Update for M1 is availiable now

 

[ArtOfWarfare]

What are the things we’re not supposed to discuss on Zoom? I’m going to try bringing them all up the next time I have a Zoom call.

Tiananmen Square Massacre, Winnie the Pooh, treatment of the Uighur people, Hong Kong and Taiwan...

 

[ggibson913]

Wow, I was wrong. Looks like many third party apps are quickly making the change to the M1 processor.

I updated within the app to 5.4.7. Was still intel based.

I had to go to zoom's download page https://zoom.us/download and they have a separate link for the Apple Silicon version. So I guess it isn't a universal binary.
