To link Zoom meetings with Outlook calendar, a Zoom add-in must be installed for the mailbox in Exchange Online.

1. Ensure the email account is hosted on Microsoft 365 (required for third‑party online meeting add-ins).
2. Ask the organization’s IT administrator or help desk to install and configure the supported Zoom add-in for the Exchange mailbox.
3. After the add-in is deployed, use Outlook (desktop, web, or mobile as supported by the add-in) to create a calendar event and choose Zoom as the online meeting provider; the add-in will insert the Zoom meeting details into the Outlook calendar event.

If recurring Zoom meetings are used and individual occurrences are edited, avoid changing the Zoom URL only for single instances. Outlook stores a single global online meeting URL for the series, so the Join button may still open the original Zoom link. In those cases, either:

• Keep the same Zoom URL for all occurrences, or
• Create a separate Zoom meeting (with its own invite) when a different link is required, and have attendees use the link in the meeting body instead of the Join button.
