Add Zoho Calendar Support to Calendar Integration Features
Dear Zoom Product Team,
I'm writing to request native Zoho Calendar integration for the Zoom desktop application's calendar and upcoming meetings functionality.
Current Situation
Zoom currently supports calendar integration with Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, and Exchange servers. However, Zoho Calendar – a widely-used business calendar solution – is not supported.
The Problem
As a Zoho ecosystem user (Zoho Mail + Zoho Calendar), I cannot see my scheduled appointments with clickable meeting links in Zoom's desktop interface. When colleagues schedule Zoom meetings with me via Zoho Calendar invitations, these appointments don't appear in Zoom's "upcoming meetings" panel, requiring me to manually track and access meeting links from my Zoho Calendar.
Business Impact
- User Experience: Forces manual meeting management instead of seamless integration
- Market Gap: Zoho serves millions of business users who are excluded from Zoom's calendar ecosystem
- Workflow Disruption: Users must context-switch between applications to access meeting information
Requested Solution
Add Zoho Calendar as a supported calendar provider in Zoom's desktop application settings, enabling:
- Display of Zoho Calendar appointments in Zoom's upcoming meetings panel
- Clickable meeting links for scheduled Zoom meetings
- Bi-directional synchronization between Zoho Calendar events and Zoom meetings
Technical Feasibility
Zoho provides robust calendar APIs, and the integration pattern already exists for other calendar providers. This appears to be a business/partnership decision rather than a technical limitation.
User Base Impact
This feature would serve the substantial Zoho user base and improve Zoom's competitive position in organizations using Zoho Workplace suite.
Thank you for considering this integration. I believe it would significantly enhance the user experience for the many professionals using both Zoom and Zoho in their daily workflows.
