Google Calendar Plug-in Date Issues

When I use the plug-in to add a zoom meeting to a google calendar event the time always goes in as Jan 1, 2099. I have tried this on multiple browsers and different computers. There is no way to edit that date/time. If I edit it in the google app it does not update in the google calendar. I have a paid zoom subscription.

Hello @Skycog

This normally occurs if the Zoom meeting after being added to the calendar event is not saved. For example, if I have a calendar event, I add a zoom meeting, and then I click out of the event without saving, the date will show as Jan 1, 2099. Can you confirm if the events are being saved after you have added the Zoom Meeting? Thank you.

I have tested this thoroughly and can't find a way to add a zoom meeting correctly to a recurring event. If the event is not recurring then it saves the date correctly. I tried saving the event and choosing "just this event" "This and following events", and "All Events". The date is incorrect either way. It is always saved as Jan 1, 2099 12:00 am (note both the date and the time are incorrect).

to reproduce this behavior:

1- create meeting in google cal (reoccurring daily. add zoom conference)
2- using zoom app edit the meeting (add a pw to the meeting)
3- save the meeting
from there google cal opens with the correct changes (pw added). However, the date has been changed to Jan 1, 2099.

@jills I believe because the meeting is not being saved first in Google Cal that is why the date is showing as 2099. For the date to show as what you have set it to, when you are in Google Cal after clicking on Make this a Zoom Meeting, you will need to hit Save. You can utilize the Zoom Plug in or the Add in for Google Cal, and using both you should be able to modify the passcode prior to saving. The extra step of opening up the Zoom desktop app is where the connection between Zoom and Google is getting mixed up. If the workflow is modified slightly, the date should be set correctly. Ultimately, the only time I am able to reproduce this is when the event is not saved in Google, i.e. it is exited out or modified outside of the event itself. If you modify everything within the event and hit save, the date and times should match correctly. Let me know if this assists or not and if modifying the workflow anything changes for you. Thank you.

This is not the reason. I have tested this thoroughly and there is no way to add a zoom meeting correctly to a recurring event. If the event is not recurring then it saves the date correctly. If the event is not recurring the meeting has the correct date. I tried saving the event and choosing just this event and I tried saving choosing This and following events.

The meeting is saved in google cal. That is how it shows up in the zoom app to edit. I'm unable to change the advanced settings of the meeting (like requiring a passcode instead of sitting in the waiting room) unless I open zoom app. is there a way from google to change the advanced settings?

@jills You can modify the advanced settings through both the GSuite add on and the Chrome extension. You can find out more here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201974323-Using-the-Zoom-Chrome-Extension

and https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360020187492-Zoom-for-GSuite-add-on

Thank you!

This response does not address the original issue reported in this thread. Is anyone at Zoom working on this issue? It is not browser specific. The issue can consistently and easily reproduced on different browsers. There is a problem with the Zoom Plug-In and Google Calendar when trying to add a zoom event to a recurring Google Calendar Event.

I agree, I am having the same issue. Even if I hit save the date on google calender the zoom meeting is for 01-01-2099. Please fix it, it eats a lot of time.

I am also having this issue. Just switched over to a Pro account today through my job, and this is the first time I'm experiencing this. Previously when I was using my personal free account I never had this issue. Help 😫
