Scheduling a Meeting With Contacts Saved In The Program

[HymanZ]

I saved about a dozen contacts in the program. According to everything I have seen when I want to schedule a meeting I can start typing the first 3 or more letters in the name/email of the contact in the attendees field and a list should pop up of names that match. Is there an option I need to turn on to make that happen?

Contacts you specify in the program will not be auto-populated when you schedule a meeting and start typing the name or email of a given contact. There are any number of scheduling apps that can do this for you. One option is Salepager, a Zoom app that lets you schedule Zoom meetings where your previous contacts auto-populate when you start typing contact emails when you invite people to your Zoom meetings.

Thank you for your reply. Makes me wonder why I would waste my time entering contacts if I have to get another app to make it work.

Hello @HymanZ,

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

Adding external contacts allows you to chat, share images and files, and start meetings instantly. When scheduling meetings with colleagues within your organization, their names will auto-populate after typing just a few letters. For external contacts, you can use the Zoom for Google extension to schedule Zoom meetings directly from your Google Calendar. This extension also auto-populates names and lets you create groups, streamlining future invitations and making the scheduling process faster and more efficient.

Please let us know if you have further concerns.

If I understand your information correctly if I am not using Google Calendar then I will have to type the names of every meeting attendee every time I want to schedule a meeting.  Sorry but this is all new to me. What defines a colleague within my organization?

Mark, I share your frustration.

What makes the matter worse is the we used Zoom years ago, and at that time, the auto-fill function for email address worked without our having to enter a contact's information. The browser or Zoom remembered prior email addresses and entered them automatically!

[HarryHCCA]

I don't use Google Calendar; we use Outlook.

How can I have the contacts' email addresses that I entered as external contacts in my Zoom account auto-populate when I start typing their email addresses?

[HarryHCCA]

Thanks for that hint. How does one get Salepager?
Do you recall if it can be added within Zoom or a separate app that we must purchase and somehow integrate into Zoom?

It is a separate app that integrates directly with Zoom. You can add it by signing up on Salepager's website.
