Can no longer schedule recurring meetings with personal id

I understand that we can no longer schedule recurring meetings using our personal meeting id.  Until recently, I never experienced this limitation.  I would just like to register my disappointment with this change.  My clients all know that all of my Outlook calendar invitations have always carried the same personal i.d., and now I cannot continue on that basis.  Zoom says our personal I.D. should be reserved for "unscheduled meetings" but nearly all of my meetings are recurring.  I wish we could return to the way this worked before.

    Two years on and apparently Zoom has decided not to revert. This is a VERY poor decision and reflects a lack of respect for users, if for no other reason than there has been no content explanation (that I can find). Whatever risks there are to allowing personal IDs to be used for scheduled recurring meetings can certainly be mitigated by either communicating those risks to users AND giving them the option to choose the previous or current solution. The result is a far less secure situation in which people simply share their personal ID to everyone for every meeting. Zoom: PAY ATTENTION AND DO BETTER!
