To reduce scheduling issues where Zoom meeting links expire or become improperly scheduled, Information Technology Services (ITS) is enabling a new calendar integration setting that will prompt all WSU faculty, staff, and students to sync their Outlook calendar with Zoom on Thursday, March 14.
If your Outlook calendar is currently synced with Zoom, you will not be prompted to enable this feature. However, ITS recommends re-syncing your Outlook and Zoom accounts by following this WSU Knowledge Base article to ensure syncing permissions are up to date.
The calendar sync prompt will appear when you authenticate your WSU credentials in to Zoom via the web, desktop, or mobile application. You may choose to skip the calendar integration; however, if you opt out of this feature, the calendar sync prompt will reappear the next time you authenticate in to Zoom.
If you authenticated in to Zoom before March 14, the prompt to confirm the calendar integration may not be immediate and will appear the next time you authenticate into Zoom.
ITS encourages you to sync your Outlook calendar and Zoom prior to March 14 to prevent any unexpected disruptions when joining or creating WSU Zoom meetings following this change. To enable calendar integration now, please review this WSU Knowledge Base article.
