Scheduling a meeting for quarter past or quarter to the hour (ie 10:15 or 10:45)

My account won't seem to let me schedule a meeting for times that are quarter past or quarter till the hour (like 10:15 or 10:45) but forces me to select the top of the hour or half past (10 or 10:30). Is there a setting to change this?

      If you click on the time selection, it should allow you to enter the minutes manually.

      Same happening here - I want to start at 11:15 and have just realised that after putting in many meeting they are auto correcting to 00 or 30 minute start times,. I am putting in minutes as I have done for a long while now.

        Same here. When I type in for example 15.45, I get the error message 'Please enter a valid time in 24-hour'. I need a fix please!

          I had  format that allowed 15 minute intervals but now that has gone. Does anyone one know how to reconnect to that site?

            I just figured this out today! Once you are in edit mode, go to Scheduling Assistant. There you can move the light blue/ purple box that shows up, to any increment you want.

            I'm glad it can be corrected. And that's an inefficient use of time. It needs to be an available option at the point of booking.

              Also having trouble with this when scheduling from Mac desktop Zoom app. When you manually type in a time on a quarter hour, it says 'Please enter a valid time'.  There is no scheduling assistant fix here and I have synced to iCal. Was working fine for years until this morning. Can't seem to find solution anywhere 😞

                The time has to be written as 12:15, or 07:03, not 12.15 or 07.03.

                Tried all of the above.  Defaults to --:00 or --:30, even after attempting to edit manually.  Why did this get changed?  Why fix something that wasn't broken?    It's not always possible or convenient to schedule meetings on the hour or half-hour!

                      This used to work, but, as of today, 4th December 2023, it no longer does!

                      It seems to be a bug. If you uncheck "Recurring meeting" first, you can set the time. Then check "Recurring meeting" on again if you need. The start time will not get reset

                      This isn't working. I tried first without recurring, then with. Still changes my start time to the nearest half hour and won't let me edit it back.

                      You could select the time manually in the Zoom portal. There is also a Zoom marketplace app, Salepager, that lets you schedule meetings at quarter past intervals by default.
