Changing Default Meeting Duration when Scheduling Meetings

At present, when in the Windows Zoom program and on the Schedule Meeting screen, the default is that the meeting DURATION is set to [1 hour] [0 minute] (sic).  See attached. 

 

Is there any way to change this from [1 hour] [0 minute] to [0 hours] [30 minutes]?  

 

I know that I can change the setting for a meeting, but having to do so for every meeting that I schedule is an inconvenience that surely can be made avoidable with an option to set/change defaults.

    Why has this issue with default 30 minute meetings not been addressed?! It is making my 45 minute meetings impossible to schedule in my Mac interface. Not just alloying - hugely problematic as my appointments begin on the quarter hour.

    Our meetings are all 1 hour and can start on the 1/4 hour.

    Recently the dropdown allowed 15 minute increments when scheduling, but today it is back to 30 minutes. That along with 30 min default meeting time, and only US format dates, is really screwing with my productivity when scheduling meetings.

    We are now currently looking at other options for video conferencing.

    I don't know what is happening at Zoom, but it is not good.

    Also pleading for this setting to be user define default. The one hour worked for me, now there are the extra clicks. Negative affective valence experience meaning grumpy user, will now look at going back to the video conferencing elsewhere if I have to have inconvenience I might as well have it in a single app-- hello TEAMS ugh.

    apparently this is not possible. typical. 100's of user settings i'd never use, and the one that would be so helpful -- like this -- not on offer.

    PLEASE enable user defined global default for meeting times. PLEASE

    Hi, I would also like to have this feature so I can change my default meeting to 45 minutes. It's wild this isn't a possibility.
