How to Use Microsoft Scheduler for Zoom
Zoom’s Scheduler integration (formerly called Project Calendar.help) allows you to get the most of your Microsoft Scheduler account by automating the addition of Zoom meetings to your calendar events.
Prerequisites for using Microsoft Scheduler
-
Ownership or administrative privileges of the Zoom account
-
An account with Scheduler is required
-
This is your Zoom Account’s managed domain that has been configured
-
The Scheduler app has been pre-approved by Zoom for inclusion in its App Marketplace
Note: If the app is not pre-approved, please contact your Zoom admin.
Note: Scheduler is currently in beta. If you wish Zoom to be your default video provider, you will have to contact Microsoft in order to do this. A request for Zoom to be your default video provider can be made by sending an email to support@calendar.help, which will be done by sending an email to support@calendar.help.
How to add and configure Scheduler
Adding and configure from the Zoom App Marketplace
Note: You will only need to add this app once, and it will be available for all users on your account to use.
-
You will need to sign in as the account administrator in order to access the Zoom App Marketplace.
-
You can find Scheduler in the search box to the right of your screen if you enter it in the top right corner of your screen.
-
Once you have found the Scheduler app in the search results, click on it to open it.
Notes:-
It is advisable to enable pre-approval if the application has not been pre-approved.
-
Admins who are unable to pre-approve the app for their accounts should contact their Zoom admins so that they can grant the app the appropriate permissions to allow it to be used on their account.
-
-
Then click the Add button.
-
Please confirm that the permissions requested by the app are acceptable, and then click the Allow button.
-
You can implement this integration with any of the managed domains that you own and manage on the app configuration page. Please see this Support article if you need assistance setting up a managed domain.
-
You will be prompted to click Save.
Your scheduling account will now be able to work with the integration once it has been set up. I would recommend you to go to https://calendar.help/ for more information on how to operate the feature.
How to use Scheduler
Note: The Scheduler integration will utilize your account’s existing email invitation template. In this Support article, you will find more information regarding email templates as well as branding.
