Shortcut to add zoom meeting to calendar in Outlook Web (OWA)

Hi @DaveRook, welcome to the Zoom Community.

I run through some testing in the lab and this was the quickest way to schedule a Zoom meeting I could find.

Add Zoom Add-in to Calendar surface

• Click the "Settings" cog in Outlook web access
• Click "View all Outlook Settings" to see additional options
• Under "Calendar" select "Customize actions" and check the tick-box next to the Zoom logo

Create a new Zoom Meetings

• From the Outlook Calendar tab press "Ctrl+Shift+Q" to create a new Meeting Request
• Press the Zoom icon on the top toolbar and select "Add a Zoom Meeting"

Let me know if this is any quicker than your current process?

If so, don’t forget to mark the reply as an accepted solution! 

Hi @DaveRook,

Did the above reply help to improve your experience creating a Zoom Meeting from the Outlook web client?

Let me know if I can provide any further assistance?

Hi I have a problem with the Outlook add-in. When I click the zoom icon in my calendar invite, it just hangs.

It will just sit there and do nothing. When I click the 3 dots and choose zoom settings, it hangs again.

I've tried removing the add-in and adding it again.

Nothing works.

Any suggestions?

Here's another screenshot of the settings window hanging.

I solved this by creating a browser plugin which could simulate the clicks. Now, I press ctrl+shift+z and it creates a zoom meeting in my calendar automatically. I still have to put my password in for SSO but it's so much quicker now.
