You can add Zoom to your Zencal account in two different ways, using integration page in Zencal or by clicking a button on Zoom App Marketplace. When you are in Zencal you can go through thees steps to enable Zoom on your account:

How Zoom integration works
After you activate the integration with Zoom you can set a meeting place on Meeting Topics → Meeting topic form page. When you choose Zoom as a meeting place whenever when someone will schedule a meeting with you (on this specific topic) Zencal will automatically create a Zoom event with the virtual conference. A link to the Zoom conference will be sent via email to you and all participants.
If you use Zencal for Teams and you have enabled integration with Zoom for your team we will help you manage your teammates. Whenever you add new teammates to your Zencal team we will create an account for them in your Zoom account. Every added teammate will receive an invitation email from Zoom. After the teammate will confirm the invitation he will be visible on your user's list in the Zoom account.
How to disable Zoom integration
To disable Zoom integration just click a “Disable” button on the integration page in Zencal. Depending on whether you use Zencal as a single-user or team it will be a different page. You will find it in the same place where you were enabling the integration.
If you want to permanently disconnect Zencal from your Zoom account:
- Log in to your Zoom account and navigate to the Zoom App Marketplace.
- Click Manage > Added Apps or search for the Zencal app.
- Click the ‘Remove’ button.”
