Zoom

If you want to manage Zoom with VMware Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM), here is a good working template.

Recommended is to deploy the Zoom MSI full installer for system wide installation: which can be found here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362163

Alternatively Zoom also provides Group Policy Options for the Windows desktop client and Zoom Rooms: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360039100051

I don't recommended enabling DirectFlex for this application, since the application will launch automatically at logon anyway.

I've excluded capturing the virtual background video's to keep the size of the DEM .ZIP profile small.

How to implement:

Create a new DEM config file using the DEM management console and just copy-paste these lines:

# Zoom MSI full installer for system wide installation:

# Group Policy Options for the Windows desktop client and Zoom Rooms:

<AppData>\Zoom\data

[ExcludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Zoom\data\Emojis
<AppData>\Zoom\data\ConfAvatar
<AppData>\Zoom\data\VirtualBkgnd_Video

The end result should look like this:
