iii. The Zoom Outlook plugin and add-in are both tools that allow you to use Zoom features from within Outlook. However, there are some key differences between the two.
The Zoom Outlook plugin is a legacy tool that is no longer being developed or supported by Zoom. It is a standalone application that you must install on your computer. The Zoom Outlook add-in, on the other hand, is a native integration that is built into Microsoft Office. It is installed and managed through the Office 365 AppSource.
The Zoom Outlook add-in offers a number of advantages over the plugin, including:
* It is more secure, as it is integrated with the Office 365 security platform.
* It is more reliable, as it is updated automatically through the Office 365 AppSource.
* It is more user-friendly, as it is integrated with the Outlook interface.
If you are using a recent version of Outlook, I recommend using the Zoom Outlook add-in instead of the plugin.
