Cannot integrate Zoom with Google Calendar

My Zoom account used to be successful integrated with my Google Calendar so that my meeting were saved to Google Calendar. Recently, when scheduling a meeting I selected the option "All Calendars" rather than Google Calendar, and since then I haven't been able to go back to the option to have Zoom access my Google Calendar to record teh meeting invitations. I have gone through the steps Zoom recommends. I even tried removing access from Google so that I coudl then re-add access to Zoom, but that doesn't work. When I go to Zoom under my account and select, 

"Calendar and Contacts Integration," and go through the entire process of giving my google account access, it allows me to go through the entire process and then it says:

"Add failed, the calendar-related access permissions are not allowed" with no further explanation. If anyone has any ideas for me, I'd really appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

      Are you a member of a larger account? It could be that admins have restricted use of calendar integrations. 

      Beyond that, try scheduling a new meeting and select Google Calendar again from the options. The calendar integration should be separate from the the option at the end of scheduling to export to a calendar service.

        Hi there, I am having a similar problem.  I have an iphone, and my zoom app wont add meeting info to my google calendar.  When I click on "add a calendar", it just says add failed. My google calendar wont even show up when I try to select it when scheduling. 

         

        If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful 🙂

          same thing happened to me with the recent upgrade. I tried everything including using chat with ZOOM. they will not talk to you if you have a PRO account; you can only chat with tech support with a 2000/year subscription!

          Hi everyone, I encountered the same issue. 

           

          Try opening your Google calendar on a new tab before adding the calendar. This solution worked for me, hope it will as well with you. 

           

          Best!

          Has anyone figured this out. All of a sudden, zoom is not connecting with my Google calendar even though it's saying it has "some" access. But when I try to reconnect, it says "Add failed, the calendar-related access permissions are not allowed." I've been at this for hours.

            I found a temp fix; when I set up a new zoom call I manually select my ical or google cal  - each time. you have  scroll to the bottom of the zoom set up page.  still doesn't let me invite people like it used to. Now I have to select the calendar and them from the calendar send the invite. Three steps.

            I think I've found the work around - create the event in Google calendar, and from there add the Zoom meeting. I'd been trying to schedule recurring  meetings, getting same error messages as above (also starting a few days after OS update).

            Yeah, I did the same. It still is a little 'unstable' as it depends on which platform I use - eg desktop to phone etc - and each warrants different results.  Frustrating and annoying...

             

            Thanks for the update though and good luck!

            It's super annoying I know. So i found out that it's your Google calendar settings that blocks others from being able to add the Cal invite to theirs. So you have to go into each cal invite and change visibility to Public or make your entire calendar public (I would not suggest this). Here's more info: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/34580?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Desktop

              Thank you for the additional info. Much more informative that the BS from Zoom. This is one reason I stick to using Google Meet

                I'm unable to install the Zoom integration for Google Workspace. I've gone through the simple processes several times, and after selecting 'Accept' on the "Zoom for G Suite" permissions page, it re-routes me back to the Google Workspace Marketplace without completing the install.  I've done this successfully with other Google Workspace accounts. Not sure why it is not working here.

                I am having the same problem, I used to be able to add the zoom invite directly to google calendar and invite people from there, now it is only showing my icalendar, but when I have tried to add the google calendar on the zoom webpage it says it is already added. This is very frustrating as it is my business calendar, and I’m having to do this in extra stages which is using up my time on something which used to work perfectly beforehand. Anyone know if Zoom are looking into this malfunction?
