Zoom: Install the Zoom for Google Workspace Add-on

Environment

Zoom for Google Workspace add-on, Google Calendar, Zoom

Issue

How do I install the Zoom for Google Workspace add-on? 

Resolution

Important: If you currently use the Zoom Chrome Extension, we recommend uninstalling it from your web browser before installing the Zoom for Google Workspace add-on. For more information on how to uninstall a Chrome extension, refer to the Google Help Center.

Refer to Getting Started With the Zoom for Google Workspace Add-on for full instructions.

Additional Information

If the Zoom Chrome extension is removed from a device and the Google Workspace add-on is installed instead, previously set up meetings will still work, even though the Chrome extension was used to create them initially and has now been uninstalled.

  • Zoom meetings should remain in place regardless of how they were scheduled, and there should be no issues related to this matter.
  • Once the meetings are scheduled and in a Zoom account, they are okay as long as they still appear in the Upcoming Meetings area of their Zoom account.
  • The Chrome extension and Google Workspace add-on are each tools for scheduling a meeting.
  • Zoom tracks scheduled meetings independently of Google Calendar.
  • If someone wasn’t using the Chrome extension or Google Workspace add-on, they could still schedule a Zoom meeting directly in Zoom and then copy the meeting invite when setting up the Google Calendar event. Refer to Zoom Support for more information.
