Zoom app - schedule a meeting not hosting

Hi is anyone able to tell me please is it possible to schedule a weekly zoom meeting I'm invited to, not host, to my scheduled meetings please?

 

What it is, is that I am doing a course, with weekly zoom tutorials, and each week I copy and paste the meeting link into my browser which then asks me if I want to open the zoom meeting app, and say yes.

 

I just wondered if there was an easier way?

 

Thank you

    If you are on a touch screen device, you can copy and paste the meeting link into the browser, and then save that as a shortcut to the home screen. If it tries to open zoom while you set the shortcut just disconnect from wifi for a minute or too.  This works if the meeting organiser has embedded the password into the meeting link.

     

    You can do the same thing on a laptop. Copy the meeting link, right click the wallpaper, create new shortcut, copy the link and add to homescreen with a suitable name.

     

    On both ways, once you click the shortcut look for blue writing or a blue button to click which says Launch Meeting. On some devices it will just join the meeting.

     

    Hope thats helpful.

    Hi @Clairh74 

     

    The Meeting schedule in Zoom is only for Meetings you have organized.

     

    To keep notes of other meetings, I use the app Chat to keep a chat with myself and paste in links and notes to other things I need.

     

    Hope this helps.
