I recently received an invitation to a Zoom Meeting entitled "Placeholder".

Please tell me what this means?  I'm thinking I have been invited but cannot interact.   Quite puzzled

 

Thank you

Good day!

As a general rule, if someone is reserving time on your calendar for a meeting that has yet to be finalized for attendees, subject matter experts, etc, the organizer will likely use the term "Placeholder" to hold that place on your calendar and not lose the free space to other meetings.  I hope this helps to explain the term well for you.
