Permissions requested by the Zoom mobile app

Depending on which features you access in Zoom, you might be asked to authorize access to the following permissions via a pop-up. The zoom function on your device can be accessed through Settings. When scrolling down you will find Zoom, and if you wish to use it, you may enable it before-hand or if you want to use it at your discretion. It is important to acknowledge that Zoom requires the following permissions:

• Calendars: The calendar app now supports adding Zoom meetings as events, when a Zoom meeting is scheduled on the Zoom platform.
