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.

Unfortunately, there is no way I am aware of to change that default duration.

I'm new to Zoom. am wondering if I have to pay for a Meeting that is 1 Hour long , since it is saying I only have 40 min . Can I just leave the Meeting at 40 Mins? Or will I get cut off at 40 Min...

Same issue, would love if this default could be changed, it is a small consistent annoyance for scheduling a lot of 30 minute meetings.

Yes, Zoom - please let us change the default meeting length! Our meetings are 45 minutes (last 15 min to organize notes and prepare for the next meeting if there is one). It's a pain in the keester to have to manually change this. Every. Single. Time.

Echoing what others have said - this would be an enormously useful feature!

Is there a way to set the default text when zoom generates the email invitation? That would also be a huge time saver for me.

1000% agree! Most of my meetings are 30 minutes and yes, can change them as I set up, but gosh, it would be so much more convenient and efficient to be able to set my default time to 30 minutes (not 1 hour). PLEASE ZOOM can you bring this in as an option.

How can I change default meeting length to 60 minutes? versus current setting of 30 minutes?

In my Windows browser access to Zoom, the default meeting length is one hour or sixty minutes. I seldom do anything through this interface, instead using the app (ver 5.12.9 (10650)). Before the "upgrade" to this version, the default length when scheduling a meeting was also one hour or sixty minutes, which worked well for our purposes where meetings are often close to an hour. With the update, this has now changed to 30 minutes as a default and the lengths. This seems to help some of you who were asking, but I now would like a way to get back to hour defaults as the half hours will have to be changed every time. Would it not be good if each person could set the default to be what works for them and this to be consistent across platforms. By the way, 5.13.0 is still the same.

Like clsnyc above, I predominantly use the app interface. The update changed the default meeting length to 30 minutes. My meetings are consistently 1 hour in length. How can I return the default to a 1-hour duration?
