uninstall zoom outlook plugin?

I've been looking for a way to silently uninstall the zoom outlook plugin but everything I see is just running the uninstall.app. Is that the only viable option (remote connect and uninstall) or is there a better way to do it?

Here is what we've been using in the Files and Processes payload -> Execute Command.

Some users didn't even notice it was removed from outlook and others did so worth letting folks know before deploying. But in our case everything went off without a hitch. Some asked where it went and we just pointed them to the one we push down to Outlook from O365 Admin console.

/Applications/ZoomOutlookPlugin/Uninstall.app/Contents/MacOS/Uninstall

We are in a similar situation. Would like to completely remove Zoom with having our users run the uninstaller from inside the app, which they will never do. I think there are things that need to be removed more than just trashing the app.

Hi @daniel_ross ,

Were you able to make the un-installation of the plugin silent? I'm pretty sure the red 'X' icon in the dock will alarm some of my users.

Thanks,
Justin.

Hi Jtrant,
took Daniel's command, (Props to Daniel)
and added a rm rf line to remove Red X(it shows up for about 2 seconds then disappears).
hope this helps, Zoom plugin seems to be going away, so thought id share.

Sudo /Applications/ZoomOutlookPlugin/Uninstall.app/Contents/MacOS/Uninstall
Sudo rm -rf /Applications/ZoomOutlookPlugin/Uninstall.app

Hi davidro,

I took your advice and added the second line to try and get rid of the uninstall app so the red X app icon isnt sitting in the recent app list, however I couldn't get it t work. Any advice What OS are you on? I'm attempting to do tis on Monterey. 

Thanks!
