Schedule Zoom meetings directly from Outlook on the web (Office 365).
First, add the add-in by following the steps in https://kb.ucdavis.edu/?id=6076
Using the Add-in
- Create a new Outlook event
- Fill in your meeting details (title, date, time, etc)
- Add a Zoom meeting
- Follow the prompts to Allow a new window
- Sign in with SSO using "ucdavis" as the company domain
- Log in (if required)
- Save the Outlook event
Additional Tips
- When creating a new event, if the user first adds a Zoom meeting, the Zoom meeting is created with a generic name
[Name]'s Zoom Meeting
. Zoom lists that meeting with the same name, date, and time in https://ucdavis.zoom.us/meeting#/upcoming. - However, if the user creates an Outlook meeting first with the event details filled in, Zoom will display that same information (e.g. Meeting name instead of generic Zoom Meeting).
- Additionally, a repeating meeting in Outlook appears as a recurring meeting in Zoom. When viewing your list of meetings, recurring meetings appear at the very bottom of the page (ie after all the dated meetings).
- One of the reasons Zoom doesn't display them as individual occurrences is because Zoom has the repeating meetings set as
No Fixed Time
. That's why they're not listed as individually occurring with a date and time in Zoom. - Also, once the Zoom add-on creates a meeting, it doesn't matter if the Outlook event is edited or removed, the meeting should remain in Zoom's list of meetings. In Outlook's Zoom add-on, certain meeting settings can be edited, but not the time and date associated with the Zoom meeting (if that makes sense).
