ADD-INS versus PLUGINS

 

When setting up ZOOM within Outlook, you will need to install the Outlook Add-in and not the Plug-in.  The ZOOM Plugin is readily available on the ZOOM website under the Download Center.  The ZOOM Outlook Add-in is pushed directly from Microsoft via Office 365 to all MS Outlook Applications regardless of platform (PC, MAC, iOS, Android, and the web) when a College account is logged-in, so no installation is needed. It only appears in an appointment/meeting window which has a reduced viewability/functionality compared to the Plug-in, but the Add-in doesn’t crash, throw up a bunch of error messages and is available for all Outlook clients regardless of platform.
