How to preconfigure SSO domains for the Office 365 add-in for the Zoom app

Zoom Outlook admins can integrate the Zoom Outlook add-in with the single sign-on (SSO) URL pre-configured in the add-in, greatly simplifying deployment. After the URL for the add-in is preconfigured, users are automatically prompted to use SSO to authenticate with the system when interacting with the add-in, e.g. B. by clicking the Add Zoom Meeting button or the Settings button within the add-in.

Remarks:

If you use custom manifest files, the add-in will not receive automatic updates and you must manually update it with a new manifest file to receive updates.
It is important to note that if the add-in has a pre-configured SSO URL, it cannot automatically log into the add-in upon deployment.

Prerequisites for managing SSO domains for the Outlook add-in

Your Zoom account has been configured with single sign-on (SSO).
The owner of the account or the administrator of the account

How to configure the manifest file

Please download the Outlook add-in manifest file from the link below.
Open the manifest file with a text editor and start editing.
Replace the current value in %value% by c7740fe1-f1ea-4869-9bec-fc827930b38f.
For example, if your manifest file lists the ID as a7ca6c74-33fb-43a4-a3e4-781078f0eff5change the line to c7740fe1-f1ea-4869-9bec-fc827930b38f.

Two lines appear in the manifest that you need to find:

<bt:Url id="messageReadTaskPaneUrl" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/office365/schedule"/>

<bt:Url id="functionFile" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/office365/addzoom"/>

<bt:Url id="phoneTaskpaneReadUrl" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/office365/phoneread"/>

Replace these lines with the lines above with the following lines respectively:

<bt:Url id="messageReadTaskPaneUrl" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/office365/schedule?login=sso&amp;domain=%ssodomain%"/>

<bt:Url id="functionFile" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/office365/addzoom?login=sso&amp;domain=%ssodomain%"/>

<bt:Url id="phoneTaskpaneReadUrl" DefaultValue="https://zoom.us/office365/phoneread?login=sso&amp;domain=%ssodomain%"/>

By replacing “%ssodomain%” with the name of your domain, you can change the newly added lines. Using mycompany.zoom.us as an example, you can simply replace “mycompany” instead of “%ssodomain%”.
The file must be saved.
