I would also like to know this. Several times now we have mis-scheduled due to this! Convention in South Africa is Monday is the first day, not Sunday

Same problem.  When I wrote about it, Vince at ***********
He wrote back for screenshot(s) and more information, and when I replied I got another error: "No case created - Email not valid for case creation".
The zoom default calendar presumes in error that every user must want their calendars to begin their Workweeks on Sundays like were in 1524.
Nowadays, since the industrial revolution and labor movement of the centuries gone by, many of us working people begin our calendar weeks on Monday.
That's why we call the Workweek, or bankers' hours, the Court's week etc, that section of the week that most people work, beginning on Mondays, and ending on Fridays. We've won something called a "Weekend", meaning Saturday and Sunday, where most workers don't work during the week. In fact, Federal Labor laws require extra pay for most workers who are required to work on Weekends instead of the Workweek for their wage calculations.
If you look at the second attachment, my google calendar permits me to update my calendar display settings so I am hip and cool and up to date with folks in about 1900 with my Workweek beginning on Monday, ending on Friday, and my Weekends being Saturday and Sunday.
I've searched settings several times, and this is at least the 4th time I've asked zoom to fix this.

Greetings, everyone.

 

Two things:

 

View this Perplexity query/answer. It indicates that Zoom follows whatever day of the week setting Windows uses, and includes instructions on how to set this in Windows. I don’t know what happens on Mac/Linux, and haven’t even tested this on Windows yet. But thought it was worth sharing.

Secondly, developers don’t generally scan the Community for feature requests. Create a Feedback entry from your Zoom Workplace > Help > Feedback Menu. I know these get reviewed regularly. If enough of you put in that request, you’ll have a better chance at getting it.
