Set the specified update channel when silent auto update is enabled
Zoom 5.17.5
Supported on: Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or later
Description
This is an old policy for auto update. It is now recommended to use the new AU2 series policies. Default policy is 0, client will use 'Slow' as updating channel when the client auto updates silently. This policy depends on EnableSilentAutoUpdate, if EnableSilentAutoUpdate is disabled, SetUpdatingChannel will not work. If this policy is a valid integer, client will use the specified channel listed as below: 0 - Slow 1 - Fast If this policy is not set, client will use the default setting.
Registry
HKLM
Software\Policies\Zoom\Zoom Meetings\General REG Builder
BETAConfigure the state and elements to generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune, and SCCM outputs.
These exports replicate the policy's registry effect. Editing the registry directly is not the same as applying the GPO through the management console (no gpupdate, no central reporting). Test before production; HKLM changes require administrator rights.
