Living in Australia, we use a Date Format of dd/mm/yyyy but when I try to change the Date Format on my profile, there is no such option. I know that Zoom is very specific to the USA but surely they would provide a way to set the Date Format since dd/mm/yyyy is commonly used in many other parts of the world, not just Australia. Any help would be appreciated.

This morning there was an update for the Zoom client. After that update the way the dates are shown in the client follow the way it is set in the online Profile. So that is a good thing!
The bad thing alas is, that the time zone in my online profile doesn't match with the the timezone in the client yet.
So, staff members of Zoom, there is an improvement definitely, but more improvement is necessary.
Another thing is, that the time in the client doesn't run smoothly with the real time. It gets stuck the moment it is opened. Good luck and have a nice day!

That update didn't fix the issue for me...

I found it on the Zoom website under profile - there is an option under "Personal" to change the date format.

But sadly, it only works on the website and not in the desktop or mobile applications. Which genius at Zoom did this?

Yes I came here for the solution to this. This has only happened in the latest update. I am in New Zealand. Please fix this Zoom - it’s a big deal having date confusion when scheduling meetings!

Would you believe that, having submitted a ticket to Zoom asking them to fix this problem with the date format, I received a response from them saying they have "...added your request to our feature request list for our product development and engineering teams to consider for future development." As if this is some fancy new feature that a random bunch of Zoom users are interested in!! I have written back and said "it's not a feature request, it's a fix-the-problem-you-created request" but I have no doubt the AI at the other end of the conversation will struggle to grasp the problem.

If you are affected by this date format change and you are a paid subscriber, PLEASE submit a ticket to Zoom asking them to fix the issue their latest update created.

I quite agree. Any global product should support dd/mm/yyyy (which should probably be the default)- the nonsensical mm/dd/yyyy format is only used in the States. I have tried setting it through my profile, but the schedule window ignores the selected format - which can be very confusing when the date is <=12.
