# Zoom for Outlook Add-in Explainer

How to deploy, install, and configure the add-in for your organization, including SSO setup and adding Zoom Meetings to Outlook calendar events.

## 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://library.zoom.com/admin-corner/third-party-integrations/zoom-for-outlook-add-in-explainer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
