iCal Integration No Longer Works

As of this week Zoom no longer automatically prompts to add to the iCal calendar I've had connected to our account for over a year.

It said I had to sync a calendar, I went online - where there is no longer an iCal option (used Google instead since the email for that calendar is registered there) and it did not stick - endless loop.

What the heck is going on here and will this be repaired or returned to previous state so that I don't have to manually copy and paste the invite info into an iCal invite over and over again now?

It worked for me, but I needed to update Zoom via the toolbar dropdown menu: "Zoom Workplace/Check for Updates". It took a couple tries for the update to actually run, but keep hitting "Retry" when you get the Error message...

Having the same problem. iCal still shows as an option on the app on my Mac, but web portal doesn't show iCal as an option. This is bull!

iCal still shows as an option on the Mac but Zoom doesn't create/download a .ics file which would trigger the calendar update. This is new behavior in the last 3-6 months. Not sure when it actually started to stop work as before.

It looks like Zoom has removed the iCal sync option, and now it's stuck in a loop when trying to use Google Calendar instead. This change is frustrating , especially if you’ve used iCal smoothly for a long time. Hopefully, Zoom brings back the old option or fixes the new system soon so you don’t have to keep copying invites manually.

Zoom no longer supports direct iCal sync, which is why it's not showing and keeps looping. You’ll need to use Google or Outlook for now or manually copy invites.

I'm having the same issues - Why have Zoom removed something which makes life so easy for its users . . . Do they really think we're going to move all of our calendars from iCal to Microsoft? Absolutely not - I have everything integrated and set up and I've already spent more than an hour trying to figure out what's gone wrong! Thanks for breaking one of the better parts of your software. I work alone so I don't need all of the new bells and whistles for the additional paid scheduler part of the app either. Please put this functionality back?
