Scheduling recurring meetings

[maryannrenz]

I need to schedule meetings for the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month--and that is NOT every other Friday, since only one month has 28 days in it (and even that isn't true EVERY year).

How can I do that, other than by setting them up EVERY Friday?

Zoom's scheduling is very basic. There are a number of options.

1. Schedule the 2nd Friday every month as one meeting, then schedule the 4th Friday every month as a second meeting. Each one will have a different meeting ID, but the passcode can be made to be the same.

2. The following is possible but not recommended. Schedule the 2nd Friday every month as one meeting using the personal meeting ID, then schedule the 4th Friday every month as a second meeting using the personal meeting ID and set the passcode to be the same. 

3. Create a recurring meeting in the web portal. Set the recurrence for "no fixed time". This allows YOU to start the meeting any time YOU choose. Then send email invitations where you specify the meeting date and time.

4. Create a recurring meeting in the web portal. Set the recurrence for "no fixed time". This allows YOU to start the meeting any time YOU choose. Use an external scheduler such as outlook to send the appropriate invitations.

5. Use an external scheduler to manage the meetings and the invitations.

These are some of many possibilities.

Hi @maryannrenz! I wanted to let you know that I’ve marked @storyhub's response as the accepted solution as I believe it answers your question. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.

You could use APIs to programmatically create a meeting every Friday and while deleting the 1st and 3rd Friday and therefore getting you a recurring meeting the 2nd and 4th Friday. If you are not a developer there is a Zoom app, Salepager, that lets you schedule recurring meetings on your own cadence and automate sharing the Zoom link with attendees.
