The Zoom Microsoft Outlook plugin is designed to make scheduling a meeting in Microsoft Outlook quick and convenient. The plugin allows you to schedule and start instant Zoom meetings, as well as make existing meeting events Zoom meetings. The Outlook Plugin can also sync free/busy times to the Zoom Client based on your Outlook Calendar events.

- Microsoft Outlook 2010 or higher (2007 with limited features), or Outlook as part of Microsoft Office 365.
- 32-bit or 64-bit OS.
macOS:
- 64-bit OS.

- Due to Zoom's new security protocol, the Outlook plugin is only supported on some versions of macOS 10.14.1 and above. If you are running an older version, we recommend updating macOS, using the Zoom for Outlook add-in (web and desktop), or disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP) on the operating system. Additionally, macOS 10.15 Catalina does not support plug-ins, including the Microsoft Outlook Plugin for Zoom.
