Question

Recurring Zoom Meeting Link is Invalid

Several times now, a recurring meeting after several successful meetings becomes invalid. The recurring meeting is not listed to be reinstated. Why?

Information on the web states that a link becomes invalid because it had been deleted. The host tells me that she did not delete the recurring meeting.

Any ideas why?

Do alternative hosts have the ability to delete a recurring meeting?

      I don't believe that Alternate Hosts can delete a recurring meeting if they were not the user that originally created it. If they have been given Scheduling Privileges, I believe at that point they could delete the meeting.

       

      In this case, I would probably "Trust by Verify" the information. You'd want to verify that the meeting still exists under her account, as well as the recurring schedule is valid.

        I have had countless recurring meetings where meeting link becomes invalid after several successful meetings using the same link.  I am the meeting organizer -- this is extremely frustrating not to mention unprofessional to frantically reissue the meeting invite while people are trying to join the call.

          This is exactly my problem, Marion. I am wondering if you have received any information that helps solve this problem. Thank you.

            We are still seeing this issue in our organization. We regularly have large meetings (20+ people) where everyone who tries to log in gets the invalid meeting error.

            Is there any sense that this might be connected to scheduling the meetings through the Outlook plugin? That was floated as a possibility by some of our staff who have the problem.

              We have a user experiencing this issue with a Zoom account. She's running into recurring meetings where meeting and participant links just suddenly no longer work. 

               

              Doesn't look like we have any answers or workarounds for this which is disappointing.

                  I don't think so - at least, I've never gotten any response on this issue. 🙃

                    I had this issue this morning. I'm the meeting owner, the meeting was not canceled. No resolution yet?

                      We opened a support ticket 8 months ago to ask that they investigate an instance of this that had happened to our users. The final response was that it happened because of a "backend change made that upgraded the token" and that it shouldn't be a commonly occurring behavior. I don't find that particularly reassuring but the point is that it shouldn't happen often.

                       

                      I still hope someone at Zoom is aware of this and figuring out how to stop it from happening. It is extremely frustrating for our users, especially those who host recurring public meetings/webinars.

                        still happening - Highly unlikely they are making changes every 90 days that invalidate meetings coincidentally. This seems more like a bug someone is trying to hide. If not - why wouldn't this "update" include a notice to anyone with a recurring or calendar meeting token to have them re-issue before finding out 1 minute before the meeting starts? I've had to scramble SEVERAL times due to this.

                          Many people within my company are having this issue as well. It looks like it has been going on for some time now. The best I have been able to find is for users to create the Zoom link in the Zoom web portal and then add the link manually to their calendars. Have there been any other updates on this issue?

                            We've also seen this issue a while now. You could create the Zoom link and add it manually to your calendar as a workaround. Alternatively there is a Zoom marketplace app, Salepager, that lets you create Zoom links that automatically generate calendar invitations & add to your calendar.

                              I am having this issue as well. It also happened last year around this time. It appears that the links expire or are blocked after six months. Our clients sign on for a year and we meet with all of them every month. I would think Zoom would want to look into this since it makes Zoom look like a crappy product to us and all of our clients. I've moved several meetings over to Teams, and after this month where dozens of call links expired, will be moving the rest over to Teams as well. I would like to see our company abandon Zoom totally, and it's likely we will if they continue to make us look unprofessional.
