Recuring meeting rooms no "no fixed time" option anymore

Hello,  I have often used recurring meetings as a way to meet with people at a non-specific time or date. We both have the link and it is saved in my recurring meetings. But now when trying to make a new one it only seems to allow me to do it if i set a time and date. I used to be able to indicate there is no fixed time or date, but that feature seems to be gone. How do I remove date and time details? Is this feature gone in order to get people to now pay for the additional Zoom Room feature? This is very frustrating as that would mean that Zoom literally downgraded the features on my plan. I am all for adding features to entice me but making the product worse when I already have a paid subscription is not ethical. Please advise and restore faith and respect with Zoom. Thanks

      Talked to support with Zoom on this. If you go online for web zoom you can still remove the date and time under recurence. But on app its not an option. Per Zoom support agent "We have a recent bug regarding scheduling a recurring meeting using the application. That is why it was removed for the meantime". They could give no promises about timing for return but the online work around is good. Hopefully they will not remove from online as well. For me I am going to pre-create some meetings. But for you I know that is more challenging since you cant share the url with other patients so they cant overlap. Hopefully the online option helps.

      Unacceptable that nearly 8 months later this problem isn't solved.  Sorry but DanielRobinson's suspicions are, as far as I'm concerned, being proven again and again every day that this so-called "bug" continues.  It's positively deception when they "hope" to have it fixed. C'mon Zoom - give your paying customers some respect.

        Same issue and annoying as all get out for a psychotherapist. The work around is okay, but extra work and a time waster. Zoom, fix it soon!

        Has anyone experienced the issue where they can not see the No Fixed Time being an option in the Recurring drop down menu?

        This is just crazy that Zoom ignore us. I thought it was solved when I used the workaround that Bethlove suggested - but now lots of entries appear in my meetings list for the same meeting on different days. I guess we all need to move somewhere else. I make appointments so I'm thinking of just going back to Skype which I used before Zoom came along. I am sure I can make that sound good to clients - just like coming to the same consulting room that everyone else comes to but at the specific time for their own appointment.

        I just tried to change names on recurrings that I no longer need so I could use them with new contacts - one changed to 'can reuse' but refused to change again, and the 2nd one just refused to change at all. I'm going to explore Zoho because they are great with my emails.
