Managing Auto Update on versions between 5.8.6 and 5.10.1 should be done with the ZoomAutoUpdate and SetUpdatingChannel option below. This allows for automatic download and installation of updates, based on Slow and Fast release cadences, to best suit your needs.
For versions 5.10.3 and higher, refer to the Enterprise Auto Update policies.
How to deploy Zoom
An example .plist file with settings from above enabled by default can be found here.
Once the .plist file is complete, it will need to be named us.zoom.config.plist. When deploying, as long as this file is in the same folder as the ZoomInstallerIT.pkg, the installation will automatically put the .plist file into the /Library/Preferences folder.
You can also deploy IT packages through JAMF, Intune, AirWatch, or other solutions, and push the .plist through them. The Zoom client will also try to read the us.zoom.config.plist. located in the /Library/Managed Preferences folder.
