syncing MS Outlook Calendar with Zoom

[Radley]

I have never done this kind of thing before however, I'm kind of desperate. I am a Zoom client who uses Zoom for personal family/friend Zoom meetings as well as setting up meetings for some community groups of which I am a member. Since installing Windows 11, I am unable to connect my Zoom account to my Outlook Calendar and Contacts. I use MS Office 365 and it is a personal account. If I try to connect the Calendar when I open the Zoom app (on my pc laptop) I am instructed to log into my Office account. The problem is, as I wrote above,  I have a personal account with Microsoft Office 365 not an educational or business account. 

From what I've been reading through my online searches for a solution, this is a problem for many and seems to stem from Microsoft and not Zoom. However, I would think that Zoom would want this problem solved for your clients such as myself. I've been a Zoom customer since mid 2020, and have been a MS Office 365 client since it first has been offered. This is an extremely frustrating situation. There are times when I have over 50 people that need to receive the Zoom invitation for a meeting. Having to type each address individually is ridiculous. 

Any solutions or suggestions will be appreciated.
