IT Admin may choose to install Zoom with preconfigured settings on the Zoom desktop client for macOS. This installation requires configuring a .plist file and installing it along with the IT Admins Installer for macOS.
Settings can be enforced or set as just the default, which the end-user can still modify after deployment.
The desktop client can be enrolled in and managed through Zoom Device Management, which allows you to centrally control desktop client and mobile app settings in the Zoom web portal.
Note: The VDI Host Installer is an MSI file type that can use the same switches as the standard client MSI installer. It can be deployed through normal software and device management tools. The VDI Client will respond to the same MSI configuration as the non-VDI client and can be configured accordingly, except for the AutoUpdate switch.
This article covers:
Learn to install Zoom with preconfigured settings for Windows devices, Android devices, and iOS devices. You can also use Zoom’s own Device Management platform to centrally configure desktop client and mobile app settings.
Settings can be configured in multiple places. While some can only be configured by the Zoom Admin or IT Admin, some settings can be configured by the end-user as well. If settings conflict, Zoom will use the following priority:
If you want to configure options for the Zoom desktop client on macOS, you need to create a .plist file. If you don't configure the .plist file, Zoom will be deployed with the default configuration.
Settings configured through plist are either enforced or set as the default, but allow users to change them within the Zoom desktop client.
For example, if you want to have the Automatically enter full screen when viewing shared content enabled by default, but completely disallow Google or Facebook logins, the plist file would be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Notes:
An example .plist file with settings from above enabled by default can be found here.
Once the .plist file is complete, it will need to be named us.zoom.config.plist. When deploying, as long as this file is in the same folder as the ZoomInstallerIT.pkg, the installation will automatically put the .plist file into the /Library/Preferences folder.
You can also deploy IT packages through JAMF, Intune, AirWatch, or other solutions, and push the .plist through them. The Zoom client will also try to read the us.zoom.config.plist. located in the /Library/Managed Preferences folder.
