Zoom and Microsoft recommend uninstalling the legacy plugin and migrating to the new add-in. For more information, please see Microsoft’s support article. Originally planned for May 2021, this deprecation has been delayed. Microsoft has announced the end of life for legacy Outlook plugins. Whenever possible, we recommend using the Zoom for Outlook Add-in. Zoom has discontinued feature development for the Zoom for Outlook Plugin.

What about the Zoom Plugin for Microsoft Outlook?
