Using the MSI package installer, you can install and configure Zoom for Windows in bulk. You can also use an Active Directory template utilizing Group Policy to configure Zoom, or by using registry keys for configuring Zoom.
Using Active Directory administrative templates via Group Policy or registry keys, Zoom Rooms for Windows can be configured as well.
Zoom can be deployed through GPOs or SCCMs, if using the MSI installer. The desktop client should be installed using a startup script if it is installed via a GPO script. Using a logon script is the best way to install the Outlook plugin if you want to deploy it via GPO script.
When Zoom is deployed, administrators are able to lock specific features and settings with an Active Directory Administrative Template or registry key.
Zoom Device Management, where you are able to manage the desktop client and mobile app settings centrally on the Zoom web portal, can be used to enroll the desktop client and manage it from the Zoom web portal.
The following instructions will guide you through the installation process of Zoom on macOS, Android, and iOS devices. Additionally, you can centrally configure Zoom’s desktop client and mobile app settings by using its own Device Management platform.

How to deploy and configure the Zoom desktop client
Command-line deployment options
When the main command-line deployment of the desktop client is configured, the following are the options that will be set in the main configuration. The following is a basic configuration of how to install, and in each of the examples, each option is highlighted in bold type.
You can refer to the Microsoft article for MSI installation instructions if you are interested in other common installation methods.
- 32-bit version: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE\ZoomUMX\
- 64-bit version: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ZoomUMX\
| MSI option | Description | Deployment example | Value type |
| Basic Install | Standard command-line install example | msiexec /package ZoomInstallerFull.msi /lex zoommsi.log | – |
| Silent install | Installs the client without user interaction, any install windows, or immediate restart | msiexec /i ZoomInstallerFull.msi /quiet /qn /norestart /log install.log | – |
| Wait until the in-progress meeting is over before installing | Disables interaction of the package with the Restart Manager, prevents an immediate restart, and hides all UI of the process. | msiexec /i ZoomInstallerFull.msi /qn /norestart MSIRestartManagerControl=”Disable” | Boolean |
| zNoDesktopShortCut | Prevent the creation of a desktop shortcut on install or update. | msiexec /package ZoomInstallerFull.msi /lex zoommsi.log zNoDesktopShortCut=”true” | Boolean |
| zSilentStart | Automatically start client in the system tray after reboot. | msiexec /package ZoomInstallerFull.msi /lex zoommsi.log zSilentStart=”true” | Boolean |
| zSSOHost | Disabled by default, this option allows you to preconfigure the SSO URL. | msiexec /package ZoomInstallerFull.msi /lex zoommsi.log zSSOHost=”vanity_URL” | String |
| ZoomAutoUpdate | Disabled by default, this will remove the Check for Updates option in the client and thus not allow users to check for and install updates for the Zoom client. If Auto-update is enabled, users will be able to check for updates in the client and will not require elevated admin rights to update. Please see AutoUpdate section for important details. |
msiexec /package ZoomInstallerFull. msi /lex zoommsi.log ZoomAutoUpdate=”true” | Boolean |
| DisableAdvancedSharingService | Enabled by default, this option can disable this service, which can prevent prompting for admin credentials during upgrading. If this service is disabled, the auto-updating experience may be affected slightly. | msiexec /package ZoomInstallerFull.msi /lex zoommsi.log DisableAdvancedSharingService=true | Boolean |
| FirewallPortStart FirewallPortEnd |
Set the inbound and outbound firewall rules for the Zoom client. Note: FirewallPortStart and FirewallPortEnd need to be configured together, as Zoom does not recommend enabling one without enabling the other. | msiexec /package ZoomInstallerFull.msi /lex zoommsi.log FirewallPortStart=”7200″ FirewallPortEnd=”17210″ | String |
**Important notes regarding AutoUpdate
Prior to version 5.8.6, the AutoUpdate option was not a true auto-update feature. The desktop client will not automatically maintain itself on the latest client version if this option is selected, and the user will need to manually check for updates. Refer to either EnableSilentAutoUpdate or AlwaysCheckLatestVersion, as these options provide a closer approximation to auto-update functionality than the AutoUpdate option does.
The AutoUpdate feature allows you to download and install updates automatically, according to your preference, based on Slow or Fast release cadences. In the SetUpdatingChannel option below, you can set the cadence of automatic updates.
Note: An MSI file named VDI Host Installer can use the same switches as a standard client MSI Installer because it is an MSI file type. Software and device management tools can be used to deploy the file. There is no difference between the MSI configuration of the VDI Client and the MSI configuration of the non-VDI Client, apart from the AutoUpdate switch.
Additional Configuration Options
In one of the following parameters, you need to include and configure the following options:
- ZConfig:
- Add the zConfig parameter to your install choice to set and require specific configurations.
-
Msiexec /package ZoomInstaller.msi /norestart /lex msi.log ZConfig="account=your_account_id;nogoogle=1;nofacebook=1”
-
- Recommend:
To configure the Zoom desktop client with specific options, two parameters are available: zConfig and zRecommend. Each of these parameters serves a different purpose and can be used separately or together to customize the client installation.
zConfig Parameter
The zConfig parameter is used to set and require certain configurations during the Zoom client installation. By adding the zConfig parameter to the installation command, you can specify options such as account ID, Google and Facebook login settings, and more. For example, the following command includes the zConfig parameter to disable Google and Facebook login options:
Msiexec /package ZoomInstaller.msi /norestart /lex msi.log ZConfig=”nogoogle=1;nofacebook=1″
By using the zConfig parameter, you can ensure that certain configurations are always applied during the client installation.
zRecommend Parameter
The zRecommend parameter is used to deploy default configurations that users can modify later. This parameter allows you to specify options that users can change within the Zoom client settings. For example, the following command sets the audio adjustment option to “auto” by default:
Msiexec /i ZoomInstallerFull.msi ZRecommend=”AudioAutoAdjust=1″
Users can change this option later if they prefer a different setting. The zRecommend parameter allows you to provide a default configuration that users can adjust based on their preferences.
Using zConfig and zRecommend Together
Both zConfig and zRecommend parameters can be used together to provide a customized client installation. By using both parameters, you can force certain options while also allowing users to modify other settings. For example, the following command disables Google login while also setting the audio adjustment option to “auto” by default:
Msiexec /i ZoomInstallerFull.msi zConfig=”nogoogle=1″ zRecommend=”AudioAutoAdjust=1″
In this way, you can configure the Zoom desktop client to meet your specific needs while also allowing users to adjust certain settings based on their preferences.
The zConfig setting will take priority if a setting has been entered in both zConfig and zRecommend. This setting will not be able to be changed by the user, until it is entered in ZConfig. To learn more about how to resolve other conflicting settings, please refer to the Priority of Settings section.

If you are running the installer, you have the following options available to you:
| MSI option | Description |
