Given this context, we recommend the following deployments:

We recommend consolidating to the add-in for an easier deployment process and standardized user experience. Zoom will support Windows OS Outlook plugin (including new enhancements, technical support, and bug/patch fixes). Due to this, it is still recommended that organizations migrate their users from the plugin to the Zoom Outlook add-in. Initially planned for June 2020, this timeline was postponed, however, Microsoft is still working with Apple to block certain plugins.

At this time, Zoom will also stop the development and support of the Mac Outlook plugin. Note: Microsoft has announced that they are removing support for injection-based native plugins with Outlook for Mac. The add-in provides customers with an easier deployment and more robust admin management solutions, is actively being supported by Microsoft, and better meets the recently enhanced security requirements of vendors like Apple. To ensure our users are getting the best experience while adhering to policies and guidelines set by Apple and Microsoft, Zoom is highly recommending the migration of your users to Zoom’s Outlook add-in. The plugin is an application installation and the add-in is a native integration in Microsoft Office AppSource. Both integrations allow customers to add a Zoom meeting to their Outlook calendar event. Zoom offers two variations of an Outlook integration: the Zoom Outlook plugin and Zoom add-in.
