# Zoom for Outlook Add-in Explainer

## Overview <a href="#h.9duz0auqgcwu" id="h.9duz0auqgcwu"></a>

The Zoom for Outlook add-in simplifies the process of scheduling a Zoom Meeting in Microsoft Outlook by enabling users to seamlessly add Zoom Meeting URLs and information to any new or existing Outlook calendar event.

The Zoom for Outlook add-in is a web-based application that does not require local installation on user machines and instead appears as a built-in web application that operates through web APIs to communicate with Zoom’s calendaring web service. The add-in is available for Windows and macOS Outlook clients, Android and iOS Outlook clients, and Outlook on the web. The add-in can be configured and mass-deployed by Outlook administrators or installed by individual users.

This document will explain how to deploy and install the Zoom for Outlook add-in as well as describe its available configurations and feature enhancements.
