Create a Zoom Meeting through Outlook

The process for adding a Zoom meeting depends on whether you're using the desktop version of Outlook or the web version. 

Not sure which one you have? Look for a website address at the top:

This is a web address, which means I'm using web version of Outlook.

If you're using the web version, scroll down to the next section. Otherwise, continue reading for desktop Outlook instructions.

(Scroll down if you're using the web version)


Here's a quick step-by-step:

  1. In your Outlook calendar, open a new or existing meeting
    Note the lack of a Zoom meeting button in this picture

  2. Enter your meeting title and the date/time
  3. On the right side of the toolbar, press "Add a Zoom meeting"
    This button adds the quick-join link and phone numbers to your event
  4. Fill out the rest of the meeting details as you normally would and press Send


Note: the "Add a Zoom meeting" button is only found in the meeting creation window--it does not appear in the Calendar toolbar!



 


For Outlook's Web Version


To create a Zoom meeting in the web version of Outlook:

  1. Navigate to your Calendar and create a new meeting
  2. Choose a meeting title and then the date/time
  3. In the upper-right corner, press the three dots to open a menu
  4. From this menu, press Zoom and then Add a Zoom Meeting

  5. If Zoom prompts you to open a new window, accept. If it does not, skip to step 8.
  6. Scroll down and choose to sign in using SSO
  7. In the next window, enter adler in the blank space so it reads adler.zoom.us, then press OK
  8. In the Outlook meeting invite, confirm that the location is now a Zoom web address and the meeting body contains web links and phone numbers
  9. Send the invite!
