Zoom outlook add-in doesnt show up in 'new outlook'

hello. many people in our organization are having issues with the zoom add-in not properly showing up. some fixes are:

  1. restarting outlook
  2. switching from 'new outlook' back to 'classic', and back to 'new outlook' again
  3. uninstalling the app and re-installing

it's been a bit of a headache. is there a fix coming out for this at all?

    @janzaldua Those are all great steps to take when the add-in isn't reflected properly in the end users Outlook desktop client. 

    I would also verify that when the add-in doesn't show if it's available from the outlook web client. If so, then it's an issue with how the desktop Outlook client is receiving the add-in, if not then it's an issue as a whole with it being pushed from your add-in deployment. 

    If there are issues with the add-in displaying, then the issue would lie on the Microsoft side of things. 

    I would also make sure that the right steps are being followed to ensure the add-in is installed.

    Hey there, thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention, this happens only for our MAC users. Is the add-in supposed to show up on webmail as well as the desktop client? Just wanted to verify that, as we are using O365.

     

    I also found an article here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4412648866701-Troubleshooting-the-Zoom-for-Outlook-add-in#h_1d44a9ad-e2eb-4195-afb4-83c833dbdfa2

     

    Should we be clearing the cache for MAC, at this location

    @janzaldua In my experience it should be showing for webmail as well. 

    That is another great article for potential issues, but it shouldn't be necessary to clear that cache every time. It should only be necessary if there are issues with it appearing on the ribbon. 
    I would add this to your list of troubleshooting steps that you provided earlier, but it should not be necessary for each user to have this cleared.

    I wonder if the issue has been resolved? Looks like Zoom plug-in doesn't work for Outlook for Windows which Microsoft just made "Try the new Outlook" toggle available to all Microsoft channels as of January 9, 2024.

     

    I just wanted to confirm that the Zoom plug-in is working with Outlook client version 2308 and also Outlook on the Web (from any browser), but not with the new Outlook, aka Outlook for Windows. I have reinstalled Zoom and even Zoom plug-in for Outlook on the web many times but still not showing up. I verified that Zoom is checked under Calendar/Customize actions. Can Zoom support look into it as we have over 7000 users? Thanks.
