I DON'T WANT ZOOM WORKPLACE - how do I turn it off?

I went into my Zoom today, which I use for personal reasons to stay in touch with family. I opened on my desktop, per usual, signed in, and it immediately took me to "Zoom Workplace" and all my scheduled meetings were gone. I had to go onto Zoom's website and login to my account there in order to find them. 

 

I do not want Zoom workplace.  I do not want to be charged for Zoom workplace. I don't want to have to sign in through the website. If I find out I'm being charged extra for a service I neither wanted nor use, I'm cancelling my account and moving to another online meeting platform. 

 

Does anyone know how to switch back, or have experienced this?

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!! Your recurring meetings are NOT GONE! In the meetings tab look at the very bottom of the window and you will see a link that says "Recurring (XX)" (where XX is the number of recurring meetings).

 

Zoom Workplace is simply the latest version of Zoom and offers numerous features in part includes to manage chatting before, during, and after, scheduling, calendaring, starting, and editing meetings.

I HATE this new version.  It's incredibly glitchy on my PC and it's already affected meeting with clients!!  This is unacceptable.  Is there a way to downgrade or revert back to the previous version?

Zoom Workplace sucks! Please restore the old version - might as well move to Teams now!

since everyone already uses teams, that's what I'm going to end up doing if they don't offer a way to take us back and at least offer a choice of keeping what worked or jumping into the new workplace. I have subscriptions for several of our employees that depend on zoom for client meetings, and also court meetings and meetings with other attorneys, etc. My zoom meetings are short and sweet, I don't need what they need. But I'll cancel them all and move it rather than waste my time with the tech concerns that land in my lap. I just need it reliable and consistent. Not all those bells and whistles that have absolutely nothing to do with the original intention of zoom. If I'm already investing time trying to smooth feathers and get people on their zooms when they can't, I may as well invest it in moving it and updating our website and calendar to making self-appointments with something else. It really amazes me that they didn't have the foresight to think "We should offer a choice." But it appears they think it's so great that we should love it! But what they did was change what zoom is. I liked them better when they were focused on being the best at video conferencing. I can get all this other crap anywhere. But I was remaining loyal to Zoom for video. I see no reason to now, though. I get it - they probably lost some folks to the suites that now offer that as well. But in trying to win that market back, they are alienating most of their base market that made them what they are.

Had to disable google calendar zoom extensions to get persistent reoccuring meetings to work right again.

The last thing I need is another calendar. I manage Zoom meetings through calendar invites, that I view in a calendar app. I DEFINITELY want to turn off the massive calendar view in the "new" Zoom. I just want video calls, thank you, stop competing to me more than that!

ANOTHER MAJOR PROBLEM -- I did not get the Low System Resources warnings for the last six months or so and am getting them now, with fewer items open. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

I too, would love to revert to the old version.  This one is always saying the connection is unstable, and I'm having the same "disappearing meeting" issues that others have reported.  Please, how does one get OUT of Zoom Workplace??

zoom workplace is an unnecessary complication to a formerly great program. I'd love to have the original back. Is there anyway to do. I'd hate to go to Skype or Google meetings.

Has anyone had any luck contacting Zoom to Get out of the Zoom workplace.  It is Horrible! I tried their chatbot...they do not understand my question.  I tried calling but you need to pay more money to get to speak with someone.  I am ready to cancel.

I have had no luck unless you want to pay more $.  I received a message today after my comment over a week ago.  Asking that we try... I do not care for the platform and am looking at other alternatives.
