Contact Center SDK - minimum version policy

On a quarterly basis, Zoom enforces a required minimum version for each SDK. Versions below the published minimum will cease functioning in production, preventing customers from joining meetings.

Version enforcement policy

See Version enforcements for developers section of the Zoom Software Quarterly Lifecycle Policy for minimum versions tables and enforcement dates.

We recommend updating to the latest version whenever possible.

See the SDK upgrade guide for considerations when upgrading between versions. See the Changelog for a list of breaking changes.

Account owners and administrators can also require end users to run a specified minimum version of the Zoom Meeting SDK. Contact Zoom Support to enable this option. This is separate from the general feature requiring users to update Zoom.

Why is Zoom implementing an SDK minimum version policy?

This policy aligns with the Zoom Software Quarterly Lifecycle Policy. Its purpose is to make sure that developers can provide customers with the latest security enhancements and functionality.

How often will the minimum SDK versions change?

Zoom enforces new minimum versions quarterly, during the first weekend of November, February, May, and August.

On the same schedule, Zoom announces the minimum versions that will be required for the next enforcement period, providing a three-month notice window.

See Version enforcements for developers and the Changelog for updates.

How long will a given SDK version be supported?

Zoom aims to support an SDK version for at least nine months before its end-of-life. However, off-cycle updates may be required to address major security or compliance issues. See the Changelog for release notes and updates.

Can developers see which SDK version their customers are using?

Yes. Developers can use their SDK's version getter method to display the current version to customers. For example:

Refer to the SDK reference guide for your specific platform for details.

What happens if a major vulnerability is detected?

If an urgent security or compliance issue arises, Zoom may issue a forced or prompted update outside the regular schedule. Developers may be required to update to the newest SDK version to maintain security. Zoom reserves the right to require off-cycle updates when necessary.
