Unable to add invitees from Contacts when scheduling a meeting
In the past, I have been able to add invitees from my Personal Contacts simply by starting to type the first few letters of their names. But according to Zoom Support, that is no longer possible. I contacted support, and they confirmed this is no longer possible, and instead, suggested I use Google Calendar to integrate with Zoom, but this makes everything more difficult and cumbersome. Alternatively, they suggested I created my own email to everyone I want to invite and then include the link to the Zoom meeting. But when they use the link from the Meeting Scheduler, everyone’s name appears as the owner of the meeting. (Then are able to “rename” themselves, but again, this is very cumbersome for them unless they all know how to do it.)
Next, I asked if there was a way I could import a long list of email addresses to invite to the meeting. Support told me that “unfortunately, I must enter each name one-by-one. This is most cumbersome. Imagine I have a meeting with 30 to 40 of my workers. I asked if I could create a template with the names of the meeting invitees to attend to future meetings, but the templates do not save the invitees names or email addresses.
Finally, I asked if I could include notes in my meeting invitation, such as the Agenda for the meeting, but this is also not possible.
Very, VERY, disappointed with Zoom meetings. Time to find another software that works better. Perhaps Google Meet.
