Google Calendar Plug-in Date Issues

When I use the plug-in to add a zoom meeting to a google calendar event the time always goes in as Jan 1, 2099. I have tried this on multiple browsers and different computers. There is no way to edit that date/time. If I edit it in the google app it does not update in the google calendar. I have a paid zoom subscription.

    I'm experiencing the same issue, but slightly different.  There's a GoogleCalendar event that already exists - meaning the calendar invite has already been created and saved.  I go to edit the calendar invite to add a Zoom meeting.  I get a notification on the GoogleCalendar invite that says "Notice to host: Please save this event to sync its title and start time to the meeting, and this notice will be auto-removed shortly afterwards. If it isn't, open the Zoom add-on from the sidebar and click on this event in the calendar view."  I save the calendar invite and close it.  When I open the calendar invite - despite having saved it with the Zoom link - I still see the same notice.  When I expand the Zoom details in the calendar invite, the Zoom meeting is saying it's scheduled for 2099.

    I have open a ticket for this case.

    Answer from Zoom Support: "Thanks for letting us know. The issue was already with our engineering team for checking and currently working on it. "

    It's 11/15/21 and this is still happening. Has anyone able to figure out what is going on and how to fix it?

    @51 This issue is still happening. Please release a status update on whether or not we're getting a patch for this. This is making your service useless for businesses that rely on Google.

    Solution

     

    1. Open the meeting - Click -> Pencil
    2. Open the google 'add-on sidebar'
      1. You probably have this minimized
      2. Click the small carrot in the very bottom right corner of the screen 'show side bar'
    3. Click Zoom
    4. Change nothing - click 'Update meeting'
      1. The notice will go away 
    5. Save your meeting

    I was also given the advice below by Zoom support.

    They said this is a sync issue when new events are not saved, which does not explain why it suddenly started happening on recurring events that have been working for months.

     

    "1. In your Google Calendar, click on any available date.

    2. Type a title under "Add Title"

    3. Instead of clicking Save, try clicking Make it a Zoom Meeting at the bottom. Then, go to the Zoom web portal and see if the date and time are correct.

     

    If you have an existing meeting in your Google Calendar that shows January 1, 2099, try to click it to Edit, then click on "Find a Time" and select a different date and time just to test it and then click Save. Then, check the web portal again to check if the date/time is correct."

    I have the same issue.  when anyone in my org creates a meeting and saves it, and then another user adds the zoom via the GCal calendar plug in, and then saves the invite, the date and title never seem to sync.

     

    If this is ALWAYS going to be an issue, it would be nice if @51 would say so.  If it's going to be fixed, that would be a nice status update as well.

     

    Thanks!

    Looks like a sync issue, what we did was to sign in to https://calendar.google.com/ go in the add-in on the right, click on Zoom icon then the 3 dots and sign out from Zoom. 
    Then you need to sign back in with google sign in
    Problem was solved
