Mass-deploying with Group Policy Objects
Last Updated:
Zoom client. Administrators can disable features such as screen sharing or video sharing for all meetings that a user joins, regardless of who is hosting the meeting. By installing with an Active Directory Administrative Template or registry keys, administrators can lock certain features and settings upon deployment of the
Active Directory admins can configure Zoom settings and features through Group Policy at any time. Zoom does not need to be installed on the computer for these settings to be configured. Zoom can be downloaded at a later time and the configuration will apply the first time Zoom is launched. The settings apply whether the standard installer is used or the MSI installer is used.
The Zoom desktop application, as well as the Zoom Rooms application, can also be deployed and configured via command-line or Intune as well.
The desktop client can be enrolled in and managed through Zoom Device Management, which allows you to centrally control desktop client and mobile app settings in the Zoom web portal.
Note: To ensure compatibility with the policies listed below, we recommend updating to the latest version of the Windows desktop client or Zoom Rooms client.

**Important notes regarding AutoUpdate
The AutoUpdate option on versions prior to 5.8.6 is not a true auto-update feature. This option only allows the user to manually check for updates and the desktop client will not keep itself on the latest client version automatically. Please refer to the EnableSilentAutoUpdate or AlwaysCheckLatestVersion options, as these options enhance the AutoUpdate option to achieve something closer to a true auto-update functionality.
AutoUpdate on versions 5.8.6 and higher does allow for automatic download and installation of updates, based on Slow and Fast release cadences to best suit your needs. The cadence of releases you want to follow with AutoUpdate is configured with the SetUpdatingChannel option below.
Note: The VDI Host Installer is an MSI file type that can use the same switches as the standard client MSI installer. It can be deployed through normal software and device management tools. The VDI Client will respond to the same MSI configuration as the non-VDI client and can be configured accordingly, except for the AutoUpdate switch.
