I have been added as a delegate to someone's Zoom account. How do I schedule Zoom meetings for them within Outlook?
Pre-requisites
In addition to being granted access to a person's Zoom account, you will also need to be granted access to the person's Outlook calendar, typically as an Editor. Refer to the related Zoom article and Email & Calendar Delegation article before proceeding.
Steps
- Open your Outlook application.
- Select your calendar view and check to confirm you have added the other person's calendar to your list of calendars.
- Double-click on the time block on their calendar to schedule a meeting.
- Enter the initial calendar event details, such as meeting title, invitees, and date/time information.
- Outlook for Windows: Click the option to Schedule a Meeting in Zoom, which should be on your toolbar ribbon. Depending on your plugin, this may also appear as Zoom on your toolbar, with a drop-down to Add a Zoom Meeting.
- The following popup window should appear. Look closely to confirm you are Scheduling for the intended person for whom you are a delegate.

- Outlook for Mac and Outlook Online: Click on the Zoom icon in your toolbar and click on the Settings option and then change who you are Scheduling for in the sidebar that opens.

- Once meeting information and Zoom host are confirmed, click the Save button (Windows) or Add Zoom Meeting button (Mac/web).
Updating an existing Zoom meeting in Outlook
If you are editing an existing meeting, or if you have just added a meeting to the event but have not saved it, you can make changes to the calendar event and to the Zoom event.
Steps
- With the calendar event open in Outlook, locate the Zoom area in your toolbar and click to select the Settings option.
- This should open a Zoom sidebar where you can make changes to the Zoom meeting settings, including who you are scheduling for. NOTE: If you or the person for whom you are the delegate are not the owner of the Zoom meeting, you will not be able to make changes.
- Click the Update button when finished, or if you want to remove the Zoom meeting completely, click the Remove button.
