The Zoom plugin lets you quickly host or schedule meetings in Zoom. Please note that you need the app (not just the plugin) installed to host or join meetings; installation instructions are our Get Started with Zoom article.
After installing the extension and logging in, you will be able to:
Click a button to schedule a meeting.
Click a button to start a meeting immediately.
Add Zoom meetings to calendar events from Google Calendar. (Note: your Zoom conference will not be updated if you move or cancel the calendar event; you should reschedule the conference in Zoom as well. See our article Zoom and Google Calendar for details.)
