Adding invitees to a scheduled meeting

Why is such a some very simple things just impossible to do in Zoom. I cannot add new invites to a scheduled regular Zoom meeting.  I have done this before.  So frustrating.  Can anyone help?  JJV

Hi ​@P2A ,

It can do, but must be due to calcandar integration as Zoom does not have control to send your emails.
It depends on how the meeting is scheduled and whether calendar integration is enabled.

When invitees are entered while scheduling a meeting:

1. The organiser enters the invitees’ names or email addresses.

2. Zoom creates the meeting when Save is clicked.

3. If the organiser has connected Zoom to Google Calendar, Microsoft 365/Outlook, or Zoom Calendar, a calendar event is created or updated.

4. The connected calendar service sends the invitation, including the Zoom joining details.

5. If additional invitees are added later and the meeting is saved again, invitations are sent to those newly added people.

The important distinction is:

• Calendar integration enabled: invitations are sent automatically, normally through the organiser’s connected calendar account.

• No calendar integration: Zoom creates the meeting, but it does not automatically email the invitees. The organiser must use Copy Invitation or Copy Invite Link and send it manually.

• Scheduled directly in Outlook or Google Calendar: Outlook or Google sends the invitation; Zoom supplies the joining details.

• Zoom Calendar: the invitation is sent through Zoom’s own calendar and mail system.

This is separate from meeting registration. With registration enabled, Zoom can send registration confirmation emails containing the attendee’s joining link.

Zoom confirms that automatic email invitations require Calendar and Contacts Integration to be enabled: Scheduling Zoom meetings.
