Can't figure out how to copy the invitation anymore

Hi, I've been using ZOOM for 3 years to schedule meetings.  Suddenly (?an update? where I added my contacts, perhaps), I can no longer find the "copy invitation" button that has been working great for me.   It used to pop up after I saved a meeting.  I am at a loss.   How can I copy the invitation for use in emails, reminders, etc.   ( the chat bot was hysterically unhelpful)

In the zoom client meetings tab clicking on the meeting name will  show you the invitation. Clicking on the "..." menu to the right of the meeting name will give you a link to copy the invitation. In the web portal clicking on the name will give you a button to copy the invitation. If this is not visible to you please let us know how you are accessing the meeting.

This is not working! Your instructions don't match the new format.

Only the current day meeting comes up with the three dots. Why should I have to use another app to copy the Zoom invite when what you had before was working? This isn't an effective use of my time. Not happy.

A meetings app where the meetings are not accessible and the invitation can't be copied? How can the meeting occur? It's not possible to send the invitation to the meeting participants as it can't be copied. Not sure what Zoom thinks people will use it for after they've removed the essential functionality. I can't imagine that anyone will choose to use zoom for a calendar and email app, which it does very poorly. It was a great meeting app and now it can't be used as a meeting app.

This is seriously ridiculous.  For years, I have copied the meeting invite and then pasted it into an email.  That option has now inexplicably been removed.  Why?

Seconding all the people who miss this useful feature, and can't see the reasoning behind deleting it. Was able to work around the problem by using the copy meeting invitation command on the zoom web interface, where the meeting I had created in the app had vanished! Do better, zoom.

I had the same thing happen numerous time.  If I select a date and time and save, and it doesn't allow me to "Copy Invitation", I will edit the event, select "All Day" or some other control and then unselect it and save it, I can "Copy Invitation".  Clearly a software issue from Zoom.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

The “Copy Invitation” button has been moved, so it no longer appears automatically after saving a meeting. To copy your meeting invitation now, go to Meetings in the Zoom desktop app, select the meeting you scheduled, and click Show Meeting Invitation (on the right-hand side).

I got it to work. I scheduled a meeting, then saved it. It then showed up with all other scheduled Zoom meetings on my home screen and it had the three dots that allowed me to copy the invitation.

Didn't work here. Desktop version via my smartphone apparently has doubled down on this format, no longer has a 'Meetings' tab or pulldown option. I just had to tell a group I won't be able to schedule our meeting, because I can't communicate telephone options and meeting IDs to people who can't use the one-click. Guess I'll be moving over to Google Meets
