Sudden change for scheduling Zoom via Gmail calendar?

This morning my gmail calendar no longer has an Add Zoom meeting option in the calendar event. I used to have the option to create an event, then add Zoom or Meet before saving or sending invitations.

 

Now, there is an option at the bottom right after I first click to add an event to make it a zoom meeting, but if I click that button, the event saves automatically before I can add any details. Has something changed? I tried uninstalling the extension and reinstalling already. 

 

TIA

Same issue for me today. I am an admin assistant I can no longer schedule a meeting for my boss using his Zoom account. It defaults to my zoom account. This is a problem! Been googling trying to resolve this all morning.

We are having this issue in our domain as well. The Zoom Marketplace plug-in has options on the right pane of Google Calendar, but it doesn't work the same as before and our staff are having trouble adjusting. Is there a way to revert to the old version?

Zoom support told me they're aware of it and working on a fix.

This same issue is occurring for me - I cannot schedule any Zoom meetings from Google calendar anymore using the extension. Many, many people are reporting the same outage on the Chrome extension page for Zoom Scheduler - more every minute! (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zoom-scheduler/kgjfgplpablkjnlkjmjdecgdpfankdle/related)  Can you please help?

I'm having the same problem with Firefox. When creating an event in Google Calendar there is only an option to make it a Google Meet video conference. No option to make it a Zoom Meeting. I've uninstalled and re-installed the extension with no luck.
