Since reinstalling zoom now automatically connects with outlook to set up a zoom invitation and schedule it into the diary. I can't seem to stop it doing this. I have the box unticked in the general settings area which mentions integrating zoom and outlook but I can't see what else to change. I realise there is probably quite a simple solution but if anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

I'd like to add something to Bort's solution. After selecting Other, a dialog box opens with the Meeting details. In that box there's yet another trap awaiting: "Open with default Calendar (.ics)" do not click that! Just click Copy to clipboard. The create a email to the wanted attendees (in the BBC field) etc. and do a paste (CTRL-V) in the body.

Hi @Caroline3

When scheduling through the desktop client, be sure to select Other Calendars to stop Zoom from automatically exporting the meeting to your Outlook:

Hi,

I have the same issue with Zoom starting Outlook whenever I schedule a meeting. I don't even use Outlook. My meetings used to sync with my Mac's calendar but no longer does that. Do I have to tell it not to open outlook every time I schedule a meeting? Is there not a way to select the calendar that I wish to use, instead of defaulting to what Zoom wants me to use? Do you know if Zoom intends to develop an integration with the Apple ecosystem for scheduling? Appreciate any pointers. Thanks, Allan

Hi. thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I actually tried to do this earlier on but received an error message, so I had assumed I was doing something wrong or this wasn't the answer. However having received your post I have tried again and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.

So how did you manage to find that screen?

When you schedule the meeting, scroll down and you will see the calendar option. For some reason on my Mac, Outlook is now the default, but I can change it to ical when I set up a meeting. Thanks to Bort for this answer!

I have tried everything above to disconnect on Zoom and on my Outlook but it still comes up with Buy Office Now messages and connecting to my Outlook emails and is causing a lot of stress. I use Outlook for my business calendar and occasional non-business emails, I want it gone from my Zoom account! Please help!

Open Finder. Click Applications. Control-click Zoom Plugin for Outlook and then click Move to Trash, or drag it to the Trash
