Microsoft Zoom Plug-in for Mac Deprecation
Microsoft is disabling the Zoom Plug-in for Macs. The specific timeline for when Microsoft will disable the Zoom plug-in has not been specified; however, ITS recommends migrating to the Zoom Add-in for Outlook now to avoid any disruptions in your work. Please see the Microsoft Zoom Plug-in for Mac Deprecation bulletin for more details.
For Mason-owned and -managed computers, the Zoom desktop app is available via:
- Software Center Software Center (System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)
- Mason Self Service for Mac (Jamf).
With Microsoft's eventual retirement of plug-ins, ITS suggests using the Zoom Add-In for Outlook.
- For instructions, see How to Add & Use the Zoom Add-in for Outlook.
- For more information, see https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005223126-Office-365-Outlook-Web-Add-In.
After installing the Zoom Add-In for Outlook, any Zoom Outlook Plug-in may be uninstalled.
