Zoom for G Suite
Issue
How do I install the Zoom for G Suite App?
Resolution
Important: If you currently use the Zoom Scheduler Google Chrome extension, we recommend that you uninstall the extension from your web browser before installing the Zoom for G Suite. For more information on how to uninstall a Chrome extension, visit Google’s Help Center.
Install the Zoom for G Suite add-on
- Download the G Suite Marketplace “Zoom for Google Workspace” add-on: https://gsuite.google.com/marketplace/app/zoom_for_gsuite/364750910244
- Click Install
- Zoom requires access to your U-M Google account: click Continue and then Allow
- After installation, navigate to your Google Calendar and open the Zoom for G Suite add-on from the right sidebar
- You will receive a pop-up stating “Zoom for G Suite was installed.” Click Got it to minimize
- You will be asked to sign in to your U-M Zoom account. Click Sign in
- This will open a new window
If you are currently logged into your U-M Zoom account
- Google Calendar will ask for permission to access your U-M Zoom account. Click Authorize
If you are not currently logged into your U-M Zoom account
- On the Zoom sign-in page, click Sign in with SSO
- Next, in the text box, enter our “company domain”: umich (you don't need to put anything else, just umich)
- Click Continue
You should now be able to use the add-on. You may notice the add-on has been added to your Google Calendar and Google Mail right sidebars.
Note: It may take a few minutes for the Zoom for G Suite icon to populate in the right sidebar of your Google Calendar.
Additional Information
If the Chrome extension is removed for Zoom from a device and the G Suite add-on is installed instead -- meetings previously set up will still work, even though the Chrome add-on was used to create them initially, and now it has been uninstalled.
- Zoom meetings should remain in place, regardless of how they were scheduled, and there should not be any issues related to this matter
- Once the meetings are scheduled and in a Zoom account, they are ok as long as they are still showing up in the Scheduled Meetings area of the Zoom Account
- The Chrome Extension and G Suite App are each tools to schedule a meeting
- Zoom tracks scheduled meetings independently of Google Calendar
- If someone wasn’t using the Chrome extension or G Suite plugin, they could still schedule a Zoom meeting directly in Zoom, then copy the meeting invite when setting up the Google Calendar event. Zoom’s documentation: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362413-Scheduling-meetings
