I am trying to connect my personal Outlook calendar to Zoom to integrate them. When I click on Office O365, I'm not able to use OAuth 2.0 because it's only used for work or school accounts. When I try to authorize it, it asks for an EWS URL and I don't know what that is for O365.

I've tried using the following:

https://outlook.office365.com/ews/exchange.asmx

and I receive the following error:

"The request failed. The remote server returned an error: (401)Unauthorized."

When I use https://outlook.com/office365.com I receive the error
"An error has occurred. Make sure the information you entered is correct."

Has anyone had any success linking their personal O365 with zoom?

I have had no success. This has resulted in my having to synchronize my Outlook Calendar with a Google calendar and then link Zoom to the Google calendar. This creates all kinds of problems. The moment you are linked to a Google calendar, the option to create an .ics appointment disappears. So I have to create the meeting, copy the meeting information, then add it to Outlook manually. Nothing I have tried fixes this, and I've been through many combinations of "solutions" that do not work.

In addition, if I use the Zoom Outlook add-on, it periodically gets shut down automatically by Outlook.

You could use APIs to synchronize your personal outlook with Zoom and ensure your meetings are synced. If you are not a developer there is a marketplace app, Salepager, that can sync your personal Outlook to Zoom. There is a also an Outlook plugin but it intermittently has issues or gets shut down.

Me too, exactly the same problem and no solution. It's a nightmare and a big time waster.

Somewhere I read that Zoom will only connect with Work/School microsoft accounts for security reasons. But they are happy to connect to gmail?? Where's the sense in that?

I decided to start fresh with a zoom domain email address - but they don't let you turn off encryption and it automatically sends out ridiculous emails that can't be read unless the recipient logs in and have an "expiry date warning". It's embarrassing.

So now I've resurrected an old gmail address but I haven't got the energy to figure out some hack to sync my outlook calendar so I'm just doing everthing manually. Sigh.

Zoom seems to have forgotton that for lots of us our "workplace" is a single owner/operator.

Has anyone got a fix for this?
I am using Outlook for my sole trader business but not using 365. The calendar/email won't sync and its so frustrating. As a paid feature this is pretty poor.
