As a result of Zoom ending its support for 32-bit systems, starting December 15, 2025, Zoom will only work on computers with a Windows 64-bit operating system. To join a Zoom meeting, you must use the 64-bit Zoom Workplace application or a compatible 64-bit web browser. This doesn’t affect Apple MacOS computers.
This change made by Zoom affects all their users and not just Tribunals Ontario users attending video proceedings.
Please see our operational update to learn more.
