Recurring meet anytime

I've been using recurring meetings- meet anytime for 1:1 meetings that occur randomly through the week. Today I tried to schedule a new one, but the function for "meet anytime" is gone. Support article says it should be listed under the "recurrence" drop down, but I don't see it there. It seems like it was forcing me to put in a specified date and time for recurring meetings, which really just doesn't work for what I need.

      This is called a No Fixed Time meeting. It is very handy. Here are the steps and a screenshot. 

      1. Sign in to Zoom.US
      2. Click Meetings
      3. Click Schedule a Meeting
      4. Check Recurring meeting
      5. In the Recurrence drop-down list, click No Fixed Time (screenshot)

      I hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you need.

        Unfortunately this doesn't work, 'No Fixed Time' is not available in the drop-down list

          I'm having the same issue as well. The solution posted in this thread doesn't work because the option is no longer there for a recurring anytime meeting.

            I just tested it, and this feature is still available. I have a Pro account. Image is attached.

              I'm having the same issue and there is no option for "no fixed time" under recurrance.

                I'm having the same issue, since the software update a few days ago. I have been scheduling "meet anytime" recurring meetings for two years, and suddenly the option is gone. Is there going to be a fix for this?

                  Is this problem going to be addressed in a new update?  After doing an update today, I am observing the same issue.

                    Also having this problem. @chrismenard7 The option is available on the web client (as you show) but has disappeared from the desktop client.

                      exactly!  and not on Mac.   Hope Zoom will read this and put back the recurring meeting without specified date and time.

                        The "meet anytime/no fixed time" feature is still available if you log in to Zoom via a web browser and create/edit your meeting there.  The feature is no longer (hopefully "not currently") available in the Windows "thick" client (it used to be, but the drop down only lists monthly, weekly, and daily now).  I hope that Zoom puts the feature back in the Windows client.  If I get a chance, I'll check the thick client on a Mac, too.

                          ChurchAdmin above is right and I'm grateful that I saw their posting - it was the only solution that worked for me (I suddenly started getting hundreds of scheduled duplicates of every meeting)

                            I was able to do it by going into the web platform. But it seems it was accidentally removed in the app. I'm using the Mac version and it's no longer there.

                                It looks like this was intentionally removed from the Zoom desktop app: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/17593954979725-No-Fixed-Time-option-missing-when-scheduling-recurring-Zoom-meeting

                                 

                                I submitted a ticket expressing my frustration at this, and suggest others do the same: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new.

                                  I didn't know it was intentionally removed! I had messaged them in the past about it and was told I could give feedback here:

                                   

                                  https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005838023

                                   

                                  Following your suggestion I did give feedback about this again.

                                  I have the same problem! A fixed time doesn’t work for me and so the only option now is to send a new link every time for every client

                                  We used to user no fixed meetings in Zoom to meet with clients too until this feature was removed. Now we set the Zoom meetings up using Salepager and send the invites through there to automate the process.
