Stopping Zoom from installing Outlook

Alexand875

Zoom has started downloading Outlook every time I start a new meeting.  I get a popup every time and have to click NO to sharing confidential information with Microsoft 3 times, and then I have to quit Outlook.  I never installed Outlook.  I have never had Outlook. I don't want Outlook. I have deleted Outlook repeatedly after Zoom re-installed it but Zoom keeps installing it on my computer.  Is there any way to stop Zoom from doing this?

None of that worked. I have turned off Outlook integration in my Zoom settings. I have deleted Outlook from my computer every day. Yet it continues to be downloaded by Zoom every day. Every day, every meeting, I have to go through the same procedure of saying 3 times that I do not authorize Zoom to share confidential information with Outlook and I have to quit outlook. So I have to click 4 times for every meeting: No, No, No, Quit. This never happened before a month ago.
