The Zoom for Google Workspace Add-on is a tool you can use with Google Mail and Calendar. It allows you to create meetings for yourself or anyone for which you have scheduling privileges. You can even change the Zoom Meeting settings in the add-on like add a waiting room, require authentication, etc. without having to go to the Zoom Web Portal (stonybrook.zoom.us). 

This article will provides instructions on

• Logging into/reauthorizing the add-on
• Adding Zoom Links to Google Calendar Meetings (and adjusting meeting settings, if necessary)

Notes about using Zoom with Google Calendar:

• When using the add-on, make sure you are not signed in to multiple Google account with the add-on installed. This will cause issues when scheduling Zoom meetings using the add-on.
• If you are rescheduling a Zoom meeting from Google Calendar, edit the calendar entry and change the meeting date/time. Do not drag and drop the calendar event or copy the meeting details to a different calendar entry.
• If you add an alternative host in the Zoom for Google add-on, the alternative host will not get an email telling them they were added as alternative host and with the link to start the meeting/edit polls. Instead, add alternative hosts to the meeting in the web portal at stonybrook.zoom.us

Prerequisite: Make sure the Zoom app is installed, signed in, and updated on your computer

To start using the Zoom for Workspace Add-on, first, make sure you are signed into the Zoom App on your computer with your NetID and password (choose "Sign in via SSO" when signing into the app and enter stonybrook for the domain).

Ensure that "LICENSED" is next to your name when clicking on the icon on the top right of the app. Also click Check for Updates to update the app. If you do not see the Check for Updates option, you will need to contact support. You should update your Zoom application every week.
