Recently I always started my meetings by clicking the blue Start button on Meetings tab in desktop zoom client. Now this button has gone. So I have to open the text of invitation, copy and past link into browser there suggestion to open zoom-client appears. Only after that my meeting starts

Hi @thorr 

 

Is your Zoom client up to date to the latest version?

I recently set up 4 webinars.  I'm new to this.  Yesterday's webinar had a blue "Start" button.  Todays does not.  Instead it has start practice session.  What do I do!!!

I recently did a Zoom update (always do them as they launch) and suddenly the blue meeting "join" button on all upcoming meetings is gone. I signed out back in. I disconnected and reconnected my calendar. The only way I can join my own meetings is outside the zoom client in going into my own calendar then into an individual meeting. this is very frustrating - anyone have any advice?

I also faced the same thing that my Start button is missing but I found a small Start option at Home tab under the Schedule meeting there is a thing called recurring meeting.  After scroling I found Start Button option .  And from here i able to Start the meeting.  But earlier that Blue Start button was very useful. This one is not userfriendly one should search.  Hope Zoom team is working on this
