How to Use Zoom Add-in in Outlook

Start a new calendar entry and select Add a Zoom Meeting. Then add your attendees and other information.

Note: If you recently installed the Add-in, you may need to restart the Outlook application (or refresh your web browser) for your new add-in to appear. If you are prompted to log into Zoom, choose the SSO (single sign-on) option and enter only “gmu” as described in steps 3 & 4 at How to Sign in to the Zoom Desktop Application.
