    Hello Laura Gooler Phd,

    I understand that the Zoom add-in disappeared from classic Outlook and that you are unable to add it back. Please note that this is a user-to-user forum, so contributors cannot check your Outlook or Zoom account directly, but you can try the steps below to narrow this down.

    First, check whether Outlook disabled the add-in:

    1. Open classic Outlook.
    2. Go to File > Options > Add-ins.
    3. At the bottom of the list, check Disabled Application Add-in. If Zoom appears there, select it and choose Enable.
    4. Then change Manage to COM Add-ins, select Go, and make sure the Zoom add-in is checked.

    If Zoom is not listed, try adding it again from Outlook:

    1. In classic Outlook, go to Home > All Apps. If you do not see it, select the ... menu on the ribbon.
    2. Choose Add Apps or Get Add-ins.
    3. Search for Zoom for Outlook Add-in, then select Add.

    Please also confirm the account type in Outlook:

    1. Go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings.
    2. Check the Type column.
    3. Zoom’s guidance says the Outlook desktop add-in requires an Exchange account in Outlook. If the account is only IMAP or POP, the add-in may not install or appear correctly in classic Outlook.

    If it still cannot be added, reinstall Zoom’s Outlook integration from Zoom’s official support page, then restart Outlook and check again.

    For reference, you may review these articles:

    Note: The Zoom references are third-party resources provided for convenience. They are not managed by Microsoft, so please review the information carefully before following any steps

    If the add-in still cannot be installed, please share the exact message you see when trying to add Zoom, and also confirm whether your Outlook account type is Exchange, Outlook.com, IMAP, or POP. This will help identify whether the issue is with the Outlook add-in status, the account type, or the Zoom installer.

    I hope this helps.
