Settings: Any way to change the week-start to Monday instead of Sunday on the zoom pop-up calendar?

I am trying to set up meetings and the pop-up calendar weeks start on Sundays. My brain is having trouble translating it and I am concerned about sending mistaken dates to guests. Anyone know if there is a option under settings for this? I can't find it in the usual places.

 

I searched the web/reddit/quora and can't find an answer to this one.

    Same problem.  When I wrote about it, Vince at ***********
    He wrote back for screenshot(s) and more information, and when I replied I got another error: "No case created - Email not valid for case creation".
    The zoom default calendar presumes in error that every user must want their calendars to begin their Workweeks on Sundays like were in 1524.
    Nowadays, since the industrial revolution and labor movement of the centuries gone by, many of us working people begin our calendar weeks on Monday.
    That's why we call the Workweek, or bankers' hours, the Court's week etc, that section of the week that most people work, beginning on Mondays, and ending on Fridays. We've won something called a "Weekend", meaning Saturday and Sunday, where most workers don't work during the week. In fact, Federal Labor laws require extra pay for most workers who are required to work on Weekends instead of the Workweek for their wage calculations.
    If you look at the second attachment, my google calendar permits me to update my calendar display settings so I am hip and cool and up to date with folks in about 1900 with my Workweek beginning on Monday, ending on Friday, and my Weekends being Saturday and Sunday.
    I've searched settings several times, and this is at least the 4th time I've asked zoom to fix this.

    There is always a better option - just jump off Zoom straight to Google Meetings.

    I can't believe that this has not been implemented yet. I think in most of the world, weeks start on Monday. So the refusal by Zoom to do this is really strange. It makes the Zoom calendar very confusing, so I will not use it.

    Zoom Workplace 6.1.11 calendar is new based on Windows 11 system settings (unsure about other platforms) and is now showing Monday as the first day of the week. To change on Windows 11, under Start open Settings, search for "Regional Format" and change "First day of week." You may have to quit and restart Zoom for it to pick up system changes.

    AI crap online and week still starts from sunday.
    And that's only because idiots in the US are among the 35.9% who use Sunday as the first day of the week.
    It's pathetic.

    Bump this up. So frustrating to send Sunday invitations instead of Monday, thinking of changing the meeting provider service just because of that
