macOS Universal Application - Apple Silicon M1

I see Zoom has announced support for Apple M1 processors today. With RC's underlying tech being "powered by Zoom", should we expect a native Apple Silicon macOS desktop app soon? I'd love to enroll in beta program for this if there is such a thing. Thanks!

Checking macOS "Activity Monitor" on my M1 MacBook confirms that the application type is "intel". Possibly wrong package was posted to the website?

Yes - They have not yet updated the app to be universal with native support for Apple Silicon or the M1.

I also have a strong desire to see an Apple Silicon "universal app" version to support the new M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacBook Pro laptops.

This is also a need for our company as we start to rollout the new M1 Macbook Airs to our Sales dept.

If there is Beta I would like to get a couple of my IT staff on it

We also need a version of the RC App (GLIP) for M1. Any word on when that can be expected?

It seems that any business that uses RC and Mac clients will need this sooner rather than later since Apple is transitioning all of its systems to Apple Silicon. Assuming RingCentral continues to offer cross-platform compatibility, the question here is when not if. It would be good to have some communication to customers regarding the target timeline for this support so that we can all plan accordingly.

The link for downloading M1 will soon be available on the RingCentral Downloads Site. Stay tuned!

This is wonderful news. Would you kindly post here when the M1 native package is made available in the RingCentral App Gallery? There is an option to download an M1 version of the RingCentral app, but its version is still 22.1.10.38.

Is the new version you mentioned an M1 native app or will it still require Rosetta to function?


Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Thanks for the direct link! It appears the RC App Gallery hasn't been updated with the package you provided.

It is a native build for M1 Mac. We'll let you know once it's available for download.

Over a year later and it's still showing as Intel for me in activity monitor. I just reinstalled to make sure I had the correct version. The RingCentral process shows as Apple, but Meetings and two threads of "Meetings Helper" are all Intel. Will this ever be updated?screen-shot-2023-02-16-at-22005-pm.png

I thought the standalone Meetings app was discontinued? If I start a meeting in the RC app, it's all "Apple".

I have no idea, I'm using the app from here: https://support.ringcentral.com/download.html, the latest one. The app name is "RingCentral" but there are several processes in Activity Monitor called "Meetings"screen-shot-2023-02-16-at-22759-pm.png
