Zoom desktop software has the capability of integrating with your third-party calendar so that meetings and webinars included in your third-party calendar can be synced to Zoom desktop software. This gives you an easy way to start meetings or join them directly from Zoom desktop software. There will not be a Join button for the meeting if the Zoom join link is not detecting, so that the meeting will show the host information, but also be listed as a “Not a Zoom meeting” and will not have a Join button. We are able to integrate your calendar with Google Calendar, Office 365, and Exchange.

In addition to syncing the Zoom contacts with Google, Office 365, or Exchange, you can also use Zoom Phone to make calls to your contacts if you have a Zoom Phone license. If you do not have a Zoom Phone license, you will still be able to sync your contacts, but you will not be able to make phone calls using Zoom.

• The Zoom desktop application can be downloaded from the Zoom website
  • if you’re using Windows and you’re running version 5.2.1 or higher
  • higher, as well as Mac users who are running version 5.2.1 or higher

• Scheduling a meeting: By adding Zoom meeting events to your third-party calendar service, you can schedule meetings in advance. The meeting will be synced to your desktop along with the meeting invitations.
• Editing a meeting: The meetings that you edit via Zoom’s calendar service will sync with the Zoom desktop client if they are edited using the calendar service.
