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.

We ALL hate it. What part of WE ALL HATE IT and it's not working for us is hard for you to understand. I don't need all those bells and whistles. It's probably fabulous for someone, but I just use it for small one on one meetings and I don't need all that stuff. Please give us the option of going back to the simpler version.

I have not been able to go back to the old format...The explanation from management is appalling.   I am currently reviewing other meeting options.  

I don't get Zoom...I guess they want the regular people who helped them grow to where they now today are to leave.

My recurring meetings are still there, but none of my regular meetings are there. I have Zoom connected in Google Workspace and add the Zoom link in the meeting entry and suddenly those meetings are not showing in Zoom anywhere like they used to. The other day it was showing some but not others and now it's not showing ANY. I reconnected Google Calendar in Zoom Workspace but it was SO ANNOYING to get two notifications for everything so I disconnected it. And I'm irritated that I pay money for Zoom but apparently not enough to get chat support. I've filed TWO tickets about this with ZERO RESPONSE. I'm about to CANCEL my account and just go with Google Meet.

It's garbage and doesn't work. Since Zoom switched to workplace it conflicts with our audio board and doesn't work.

Yeah their lack of support or even willingness to understand that there are MANY issues with the rollout is frustrating. I'm planning to cancel and use something else ASAP. Perhaps they're arrogant and don't think there are other services that would replace them.

I canceled -- if only to express my displeasure --  and was informed that there is no prorated refund; my service will continue until my subscription ends in April of 2025!

Let me add my voice to the chorus of WE HATE IT.  They are trying to take over both my calendar and my email.  First ability to save meetings to iCal disappeared.  I barely stayed on after that.  I do not want to have to start using either google calendar or god forbid zoom calendar in order to use zoom.  now it is not even letting me send meeting invites from my regular email, but is forcing them through some "zmail" account that I never set up and DO NOT WANT.  For the meeting I recently reluctantly attempted to schedule through this mess of a new platform, I did not successfully share the meeting link (through the dreaded email) even though I thought I did, and when the meeting  time came I was unable to initiate the meeting.  leaving me looking like an idiot.  I am a zoom subscriber and use it for work, and have successfully used it for 4 years while integrating it into my regular workflow using ical and my own email addresses.  With this move, zoom is trying to take over and change entire workflow.  They are billing this as some sort of convenience, but it's a land grab and it is NOT WORKING.  if I cant go back to regular zoom and use it with my existing workflows I will not renew subscription.

I don't want Zoom Workplace! I can't send emails from outlook, i have to go into Zoom to send them. Someone tell me how to get back to the old version of Zoom. Workplace is broken and it is destroying my workflow each day. Telling us how to find recurring meetings is NOT an answer. How di i get rid of workplace and just have good old Zoom?

  • This is crazy When I have a meeting that I host, the members click in, but it tells them that it's waiting for the meeting to start!!! It's has started but I don't get notification of the waiting room. So I go to the phone, open ZOOM and switch from my phone to my surfac pro and then I'm able to see the waiting room. This doesn't make sense. How am I to have a meeting when the people can't evem get into the meeting????

Zoom Workplace is a hot mess.  I've given up trying to set up recurring or scheduled meetings until they restore the old functionality.  All my recurring meetings stopped working and I can't reliably set up new ones.
