How to disable Zoom reminders of non-Zoom Outlook calendar entries?

If enabled, Zoom displays reminders (notifications) of upcoming Zoom meetings, which is nice. However, Zoom also displays reminders of non-Zoom calendar events from Outlook. (See screenshot of example.) Outlook provides its own reminders. I don't want double reminders of non-Zoom calendar events. How can I turn off the Zoom reminders of non-Zoom Outlook calendar events?

      Hi @GJakobsche 

      Unfortunately, the notifications for your calendar events are all of nothing on the Zoom-side. If you would like to submit any product feedback, I encourage you to visit our Zoom Feedback form, which is the official way to share any feedback or feature requests with the Zoom team. It may be possible to configure notifications for just events with a Zoom meeting and ignore events without meeting details, but I am no engineer. 

       

      Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

      This only started about a month ago.  Prior to that I only got zoom notifications for zoom meetings.  Was this part of a recent update?

        If so, I wish the engineers would revert the software back to the previous behavior. At least product management should have asked if we want the change.

          Agree.  Wish the non-Zoom items were left out of the Zoom notification system.

              With the increase in general use and acceptance of Microsoft Teams, if Zoom doesn't fix this ASAP, my company will be cancelling all accounts. The clock is ticking on this, Zoom!

                Already cancelled my paid Zoom subscription over this and now I'm going to decouple my calendar and probably switch to using Google Meets or another meeting platform over this. Blows my mind how Zoom has never even addressed this very basic failure of functionality and my patience has run out

                Has anyone found a workaround here?  I only just started having this problem today.  I have been using Zoom with this same account for almost 5 years and never had non-Zoom meetings show up in my Zoom feed before today.  The only difference is I just got a new laptop... Thoughts?  Solutions? Help!
