Question

The Start button has gone

Recently I always started my meetings by clicking the blue Start button on Meetings tab in desktop zoom client. Now this button has gone. So I have to open the text of invitation, copy and past link into browser there suggestion to open zoom-client appears. Only after that my meeting starts

    Hi @thorr 

     

    Is your Zoom client up to date to the latest version?

    I recently set up 4 webinars.  I'm new to this.  Yesterday's webinar had a blue "Start" button.  Todays does not.  Instead it has start practice session.  What do I do!!!

    Same here! I have desktop where the button shows, but this another computer accidentally updated WIN11 and Zoom looks different and no "Start meeting" button. : (

    I recently did a Zoom update (always do them as they launch) and suddenly the blue meeting "join" button on all upcoming meetings is gone. I signed out back in. I disconnected and reconnected my calendar. The only way I can join my own meetings is outside the zoom client in going into my own calendar then into an individual meeting. this is very frustrating - anyone have any advice?

    I also faced the same thing that my Start button is missing but I found a small Start option at Home tab under the Schedule meeting there is a thing called recurring meeting.  After scroling I found Start Button option .  And from here i able to Start the meeting.  But earlier that Blue Start button was very useful. This one is not userfriendly one should search.  Hope Zoom team is working on this

    This is very annoying. Yesterday I had a start button, today I don’t. the app is updated, I’ve signed out and back in, and it’s still gone. Ugh.
