Automatically add Zoom meeting info to Google Calendar

We are paid users for both Google & Zoom. We have turned off Google Meet in our Google Workspace Calendar settings. Now when setting up a meeting, the Google Meet button is gone, but we have to physically click the 'Make it a Zoom Meeting' button to add the Zoom info to our Google calendar invites. This is an unnecessary step our users have to remember when setting up meetings.

Is there a way to automatically add Zoom Meetings to Google calendar events without having to click the 'Make it a Zoom Meeting' button? I've searched forums to no avail so hoping someone has some guidance they can share to enable us to be as efficient as possible when we're scheduling meetings.

Hey @krboots, look into our KB on Setting Zoom as default for Google calendar and let me know if that helps?

Thank you for your response, however that doesn't exactly answer my question. I've already executed the steps you've provided. My question is how do I eliminate the need for users to remember to always have to click the button to "Make it a Zoom meeting" when setting up meetings. Why does the Zoom info not automatically populate into the event without the need for users to remember to hit the button to "Make it a Zoom meeting"?

Does this functionality exist? Or do users always have to remember to take the extra step to click the button to add the Zoom info to the meeting?

I've included another screenshot for reference.

Unfortunately, I do not believe this is currently possible with Google Calendar. This would likely need to be an enhancement that Google would implement, as Zoom only integrates with their services.

@Bort Thank you for your response and help. Even though it's not the outcome I'd hope for, I appreciate the clarity in knowing I didn't execute a setup step wrong. 🙂
