How to sync Zoom presence with Outlook in Zoom
In addition to being able to sync your Outlook calendar and contacts with Zoom, you can also set Zoom to set the status of your Outlook calendar based on your current Zoom status, which in turn sets the status of your Outlook calendar . Once you enable Zoom, any changes you make to your Zoom status, as well as the picture you choose for your Zoom profile, will be reflected in Outlook.
Note: Because you can only sync with one app at a time in Outlook, syncing with Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams isn’t allowed. So if you want to use Zoom in partnership with Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams, you’ll need to disable those applications before enabling them together.
