Opening outlook meeting upon creation

My Zoom meetings are integrated with my Outlook.

In the past, when I schedule a Zoom meeting, it immediately adds to my Outlook calendar AND opens the meeting invitation -- so I can simply add the Outlook recipients and hit send.

This week, when I create a Zoom meeting, it only creates the meeting. Then I need to go find the meeting in my Outlook calendar and open it, in order to add recipients/invitees and hit send.

This feels much clunkier. Did I accidentally change a setting? I cannot find any such setting.

Hi,
Could you can try changing the default app for .ics files back to legacy Outlook....Basically on a Windows computer you would have to navigate to "default apps," search for ".ics," and change it to use legacy Outlook instead of the new version

I did try this, but it did not make a difference.

This comes down to the nature of the integration. With the new outlook you would need to add the meeting in the Outlook calendar and add recipient/ invitees there to send the invite. Alternatively there is a Zoom app, Salepager, that lets you send Zoom invites as an Outlook calendar file and add attendees upon creating the meeting without having to open the invite separately in Outlook.

Hi,

Did you manage to get this to work again?

I have just come across the same issue.

Unfortunately, I did not get it to work. I was not eager to try the things people recommended because I did not want to change anything else about my current process. Therefore, I am just living with the issue. After I create the zoom meeting, I go find it in my Outlook calendar and click the button to add people to it. Not ideal.
