Zoom Desktop Client lost Meetings Tab

Hi!

 

My Zoom Desktop Client (on Windows) updated to one that has consolidated the Calendar and Meetings tabs (or so it says, feels more like it -lost- the Meetings tab) and now I can't really access cloud recordings from my desktop client. Or I just can't find them. Is there a way to go back to the old UI? Having to log into my Zoom account on my browser when I have a desktop client open just to get a cloud meeting's URL is a really bad experience.

Hi there @arodznegron thank you for posting for the first time, and welcome to the Zoom Community!

 

In your settings: https://zoom.us/profile/setting, you can disable the Merge Meetings and Calendar tabs. This will add a Meetings tab to your navigation. 

Let me know if that helps!

 

EDITED: SEPTEMBER 20, 2024

The setting for merging the Meetings and Calendar tabs was removed from the Web portal on September 16, 2024. For Zoom Workplace app version 6.2.0 and higher, the tabs are now permanently merged to enhance visibility of calendar views and meeting details. More details on this change are available in our support article: Using the merged Meetings and Calendar tabs.

I found the setting you outlined but it didn't change what shows up in the desktop application. I have folks that need the calendar and the zoom meeting to be separate items. Please advise. Thanks!

Thank you! That works!

My feedback: not a good feature to merge them. It's good that there's the option to "unmerge" them, but as a user that spends all time in the client itself, it's a double-whammy of a negative experience:

 

  • A change was introduced that had a negative impact on my use of the product
  • The only way to revert the change is to:
    • Go to the website, which I don't even use
    • Find the setting and modify it
    • Restart the Zoom desktop client

Maybe make these changes opt-in in the future?

 

Anyway, thank you very much!

After applying the update today, my meeting tab disappeared again.  I went to the web Zoom settings, and the search on "merged" resulted in "no results found".  Where did the opt out of the calendar and meeting tabs go? Zoom is getting very complicated. When I started using it during the pandemic its appeal was its simplicity.

If your Zoom Workplace app version is lower than 6.2.0 and you have the Merge Meetings and Calendar tabs toggle enabled prior to September 16, 2024, you will continue to see the merged Calendar and Meetings tab.

If your Zoom Workplace app version is lower than 6.2.0 and you have the Merge Meetings and Calendar tabs toggle disabled prior to September 16, 2024, you will still see separate tabs for Meetings and Calendar.  Once you upgrade to version 6.2.0, the Calendar and Meetings tab will merge, and you won’t have the option to return to separate tabs.

Zoom developers: WHY???  The app is centrally about Zoom meetings, why would you drop the Meetings tab in the app??

Yes, this is incredibly irritating. I used the meetings tab all the time, and literally no other part of the Zoom client. Now it's gone.

 

I tried turning off calendar integration, and the meetings tab reappeared, but now all of today's meetings are missing — though I have some from January that are showing up for some reason.

 

Please fix this. I just want a list of upcoming meetings I can click on when it's meeting time. Nothing else. No calendar, no documents, no contacts database, no AI garbage, no whiteboards — I'm never going to use any of that, I already have all of that in the OS.

 

As it stands, I think I'm going to start using Slack huddles for meetings as much as possible, rather than Zoom, rely on my regular calendar and URL links to start meetings, and quit the Zoom client after each meeting.
