## Installation
### New
Go to the [releases](/../../releases) page and download the MSI installer for the latest version. Make sure to download and run the JitsiMeetOutlook-v<version>-windows-<architecture>.msi file that matches the architecture of your installation of Microsoft Office. I.e. if Office was installed as 64-bit, then run JitsiMeetOutlook-v0.3.0-windows-x64.msi.

### Command Line
As of v0.4.0, the add-in can be installed via command line with custom setting passed as parameters. This works by calling `msiexec` on the .msi installer file. The following parameters can be passed to the installer to preconfigure the Jitsi Meet Outlook add-in settings (all are optional):
* `TARGETDIR`: Path to the install directory.
* `DOMAIN`: Custom domain.
* `ROOMID`: A default room ID new Jitsi Meet appointments get assigned.
* `REQNAME`: Require name by default in new Jitsi Meet appointments. (True/False)
* `NOAUDIO`: Mute audio by default in new Jitsi Meet appointments. (True/False)
* `NOVIDEO`: Disable video by default in new Jitsi Meet appointments. (True/False)

Example install command: `msiexec /i "C:\Downloads\JitsiMeetOutlook-v0.4.0-windows-x64.msi" TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Jitsi Meet Outlook" DOMAIN="my.domain.com" ROOMID="PermanentRoomName" REQNAME="True" NOAUDIO="True" NOVIDEO="True" /passive`

All settings can be changed from the settings menu after installation.
