Administrators of Zoom Outlook can integrate the Zoom Outlook add-in with the single sign-on URL (SSO) pre-configured in the add-in, which makes deployment a lot easier. Having preconfigured the URL for the add-in, users will automatically be prompted to use SSO to authenticate to the system when interacting with the add-in, such as clicking the Add a Zoom Meeting button or the Settings button within the add-in.
Notes:
- In the event that you use custom manifest files, the add-in will not receive automatic updates, and you will have to manually update it with a new manifest file to receive updates.
- It must be noted that if the add-in has a preconfigured SSO URL, it will not be able to automatically login to the add-in when it is deployed.

How to configure the manifest file

- Replace the current value in <Id>%value%</Id> with c7740fe1-f1ea-4869-9bec-fc827930b38f.
For example if your manifest file lists the ID as <Id>a7ca6c74-33fb-43a4-a3e4-781078f0eff5</Id>, change the line to <Id>c7740fe1-f1ea-4869-9bec-fc827930b38f</Id>. - There will be two lines appearing twice in the manifest which you need to find:
<bt:Url id="messageReadTaskPaneUrl" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/
office365/schedule"/> <bt:Url id="functionFile" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/
office365/addzoom"/> <bt:Url id="phoneTaskpaneReadUrl" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/
office365/phoneread"/> - Replace those lines with above, with the following lines respectively:
<bt:Url id="messageReadTaskPaneUrl" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/
office365/schedule?login=sso& amp;domain=%ssodomain%"/> <bt:Url id="functionFile" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/
office365/addzoom?login=sso& amp;domain=%ssodomain%"/> <bt:Url id="phoneTaskpaneReadUrl" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/
office365/phoneread?login=sso& amp;domain=%ssodomain%"/> - By replacing “%ssodomain%” with your domain’s name, you will be able to modify the newly added lines. Using mycompany.zoom.us as an example, instead of “%ssodomain%” you can simply replace it with “mycompany”.
