Question

Settings: Any way to change the week-start to Monday instead of Sunday on the zoom pop-up calendar?

I am trying to set up meetings and the pop-up calendar weeks start on Sundays. My brain is having trouble translating it and I am concerned about sending mistaken dates to guests. Anyone know if there is a option under settings for this? I can't find it in the usual places.

 

I searched the web/reddit/quora and can't find an answer to this one.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to change that default.

    Bort, can you please champion this with us? I don't know of other software that forces Sunday as a start day. I just sent a wrong date to a client. It is very unintuitive. And, yes, I will go through the motions of sending feedback into the well. But, please, as a human, advocate for us.

    I have already sent wrong dates, twice. The ability to change the start day to Monday should be considered a universal human right, IMHO

    This just happened to me, too. I accidentally set up a meeting for Monday instead of Tuesday. I am unclear why it's not a simple thing to change the starting day of the week in the Zoom calendar interface.

    It's lazy devs fault and poor improvement service for a Zoom platform as a product. Considering to switch to another product as well.

    BUMP
    Is anyone from Zoom listening?

    EVERY calendar used in business and almost all calendars in the entire world start their week on a MONDAY so this causes sooooooo much accidental scheduling of meetings to the wrong day, not to mention being just plain weird

    This issue was raised 2 years ago, and it's not fixed until now, you gotta be kidding.  Frank, since you're the Champion Customer, and know your way around how to get results, could you please help us getting this issue sorted 2 years after?  Are you not using the Scheduler?  Are you ok with the week starting on Sunday?

    This is the single most needed/required update to Zoom.  You must add the ability to set the first day of week as Monday.  It is absurd that you cannot set the calendar to the default as used by the whole planet.

     

    I have sent incorrectly dated invitations on multiple occasion due to this poor feature.  I've grown tired of seeing more useless Zoom apps being introduced (that I will never use) when I'm a paying customer and just want a calendar like every other software developer offers.

    Totally agree with previous posters. Just sent a business meeting proposal for Sunday, embarrassing. Enable option to start week at monday NOW PLEASE. Should be so easy to fix.

    +1 to previous posts, it works in the app/desktop client (and with virtually all the other software out there), so it should be a low-hanging fruit for you guys.

    And please you should consider fixing the feedback mechanism as well 😄 (from official to real feedback)

    Please enable this! I again set up a meeting incorrectly. For non-US users it is detrimental as our calendars start on a Monday

    And even in the States there are people who prefer ISO 8601 date & time formats.
