Zoom Recurring Meeting links don't open on the meeting date

Since "Workplace" recurring meetings don't work as expected for me.

I created 2 one year recurring meetings (A and B) and sent the links to the different 2 groups of attendees.

If I open either meeting on the current meeting date, like today, 11/3/2024, there are no attendees.

When they use the link, it consistently opens on a previous occurrence.  

I have to search for the OPEN meeting and JOIN. 

Meeting A always opens the 9/23 instance,

Meeting B always opens the 10/21 instance.

I have tried changing the begin and end dates - that wiped out the schedule.
