Learn how to use Zoom Mail After connecting your mail service to Zoom, learn how to access, manage, and send emails.

The Zoom Mail Client allows you to view and manage your emails directly from the Zoom desktop client, further centralizing all your meeting, phone, chat, whiteboard, and email needs in one application. After connecting your existing Google or Microsoft 365 (Exchange) account, you can view and send emails through the Zoom client. You can also create a new email address through the Zoom Mail Service if you would prefer not use either of those 3rd-party services.

You can also connect your Google or Microsoft 365 (Exchange) account to view and manage your calendar through the Zoom client.
