No invite email sent

[ras_andreas]

I'm relatively new to Zoom and therefore might have missed something but if I invite somebody to a meeting via the persons email address they don't receive an email with the invitation.

Is there something I need to configure / enable?

I tried via Android App and via Webbrowser.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In Webbrowser (Firefox) login to zoom.us and navigate to "Meetings" - "Schedule a Meeting"

2. Add *********** in "Invitees"
3. Click "Save"

4. *********** never receives an invite (even after hours or days)

I have tried various email addresses (incl. gmail and the likes but no success)

Hello @ras_andreas,

Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here!

When you schedule a meeting on Zoom and add email addresses in the "Invitees" field, Zoom does not automatically send out email invitations to those invitees. The "Invitees" field is mainly for your own reference and does not trigger an email invite.

To send email invitations to your participants, you need to manually send the invitation after scheduling the meeting. Here’s how you can do it:

On the Web:

1. After scheduling your meeting, go to your Meetings page: Meetings page
2. Click on the meeting you just scheduled.
3. Click “Copy Invitation.”
4. Paste the invitation into your own email client (like Gmail, Outlook, etc.) and send it to your invitees.

On the Android App:

1. After scheduling the meeting, tap on the meeting in your list.
2. Tap “Add Invitees.”
3. Choose to send the invite via email, text, or another app.

Zoom does not automatically email your invitees unless you use a calendar integration (like Google Calendar or Outlook) during scheduling. If you want automatic email invitations, consider scheduling your meeting with a calendar integration.
