Using Zoom Calendar

The Zoom Calendar Client allows you to view and manage your calendar directly from the Zoom desktop client, further centralizing all your meeting, phone, chat, whiteboard, and calendar needs in one application. After connecting your existing Google or Microsoft 365 (Exchange) account, you can view and create calendar events through the Zoom client, add a Zoom Meeting and invite details to the event, and invite others. Those eligible can also create a new calendar through the Zoom Calendar Service if you would rather not use either of those 3rd-party services.

You can also connect your Google or Microsoft 365 (Exchange) account to view and manage your email through the Zoom client.
