As a result of Zoom ending its support for 32-bit systems, starting December 15, 2025, Zoom will only work on computers with a Windows 64-bit operating system. To join a Zoom meeting, you must use the 64-bit Zoom Workplace application or a compatible 64-bit web browser. This doesn’t affect Apple MacOS computers.
This change made by Zoom affects all their users and not just Tribunals Ontario users attending video proceedings.
Please see our operational update to learn more.

Due to a service disruption at Canada Post, mail services will be impacted at our tribunals. Parties are asked to use online options such as e-filing portals where available, or email.
If email or online options are not available, parties may also use courier services to send their documents. If you, or a party, are waiting to receive documents from a tribunal, email or a courier may be used.
If you have any questions, please contact the tribunals.
