Cannot use contacts as attendees when scheduling a meeting?

Hello! I recently began to use zoom to schedule meetings regularly, but I have noticed that when typing in the 'attendee' field to schedule a meeting, there's no option to just choose from my actual contacts list or autofill. Given how often we hold the meetings and the amount of people, it's a bit tedious to copy/paste each individual email address. 

 

Given how common a feature autofilling contacts is, how do I do this on my Zoom account?

 

I already have contacts saved in my personal contacts list, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

I can confirm that despite the Zoom rep stating this issue had been resolved twice. This is issue is still present and is very very frustrating. None of my contacts show up when trying to add attendees when scheduling a meeting. ridiculous.

Another classic American business model resting on it's laurels. Give the customer lots of vague implied services and perceived value for the biggest cost. Sell the company before it's obvious that it's going down hill. Webex was a great and reliable encrypted product until covid when sleeping public "discovered" this "zoom"

Hey All,

This is a great observation by you all.
I really dont work this way and never thought about it.

I am sorry that I never picked this up before.

OK, enough with the apology.

I will bring this up with my own development team and see if there is a marketplace app solution to this.

Hope to have some feedback soon

As of March 2026, zoom version 6.7.5, this exact same issue is still present and has not been fixed.

Still not working for me either. Seems like a obvious use of your contacts otherwise why have a personal contact list?

I have the exact same problem. It is 2026 and Zoom does not allow one to populate attendees from a dropdown list in personal contacts. I was going to upgrade from the free Zoom product, but this lack of functionality makes it worthless. Tome to move to Google Meeting Place! Come on ​@Zoom 2026 sort this out or you will lose even more users!
