Time and Date of Scheduled Meeting not showing up on invite

I’ve scheduled a meeting and sent the user the meeting room link. Why when they open on their phone (via the app) is the time and date of the meeting not showing up?

    I've just been dealing with this same issue.  I have no interest in putting an invitation on a calendar.  When using the client, date, time, and time zone do NOT show up when you copy the invitation so you can send via email.  When I created it using the browser interface that information does show up so you can copy and paste it into an email message.  Not sure why the client created invitation would not show that information as well. Pretty important.    I probably should mention that I am using Zoom on Linux Mint.  The client interface may not operate the same as on Windows.  But I'm pretty sure the client USED TO show that information.   Seems like something may have changed in newer version of Zoom.

    Additional info - Under Meeting ID you have 2 options

    1.  Generate Automatically  -  date & time do not show up on invite

    2. Personal Meeting ID  - date & time do show up on invite.

    @Raster 

    For my edification, what version of Zoom do you use?  What is your email/calendaring backend platform?  What interface are you using for accessing said backend platform?  I saw that you are on a Linux OS, but on all MacOS and Windows platforms that I have tested with either web/API integration or Outlook client integration to a Google backend, I have date/time properly displayed on all meeting invitations.  The desktop OS should be irrelevant if you have the other areas properly configured.

    Under your profile settings, do you have this enabled?

    Also, did you complete the steps for calendar integration?  Today, those options are limited to the following.

     

    Lastly, if you are using a Chromium browser, there is a plug-in you can load.

    Linux Mint 21.  Zoom version 5.12.2 (4816).   Primary web browser Firefox.  I have several email/calendars, but I have no interest in Zoom adding entries to any of them.  The calendars are not available to other people.  I have not integrated any calendars.  I copy the meeting information to the clip board, and then email the clip board information to the people I want in the meeting.

    What I fail to understand is that for ages Zoom included the date and time of the meeting in the invites and it is only since I did an update that it has been removed.  So please could someone at Zoom just switch the button back on that they turned off and we can all get on with our lives.  If you did it before and thought it was a good idea you were right.  So just do it and we can all get on with our work please.

    I have the exact same issue.  Are they clueless about how irritating this is?  Seems like a quick fix!

    Zoom should be smart enough to fix the date and time problem. This is a bit of an irritant when I am scheduling weekly meetings. PLEASE FIX.

    My experience is ZOOM does NOT include meeting time and date in Invitation

    unless organizer puts  invitation subject line.

    But Google Meet does!

    Here is an Invite I got today from Google meet:

    the time and date  are listed.

    - - - - - - -

    Here is  a ZOOM invitation I got recently.

    NOTE NO TIME of meeting

     

    If google can do it, why not Zoom?

    Respectively.

    This is frustrating because I am not on outlook and dont have a date and time showing for my meeting invite. Very flawed design by Zoom not to include the most important details to actually meet... 

     

    Zoom is an online video meeting software right? Very poor execution

    I agree with this absolute frustration - why doesn't Zoom do the most basic thing when I copy the invitation from the home screen? What do you need to know about a meeting -

    1. The zoom link

    2. The date of the meeting

    3. The time of the meeting

    Zoom invitation manages the first of these only! Bizarre!

    Zoom, you can make so many people happy if you solve this simple issue.  What gives with the lack of response?

    This is a change from the previous version so has happened during the update.  It is impossible now to see the date and time zone of the meeting in the invitation as you did before.  This is not an improvement as if you are dealing with clients across the world, as I do, it is impossible to know if the time and date shown is correct for the region you have chosen in the zoom app!!!  It is too late when the meeting link has been saved and the invitee cannot attend the meeting at the right time.  This should be reinstated as it is definitely a backward step!!!  As soon as you copy the invitation and paste it in the email as I do you should get the date and time and this should not be left to do via your calendar app.  Very unhappy customer!!!

    What version of the client are you using and what calendar integration are you using?

    Not helpful questions - as I think you will see if you read ALL the comments in relation to this, Zoom has made a mistake in its updated version.  The general appeal is for this the be rectified.  It seems it can only be rectified by your coders  to include past feature of automatically showing the date and time on copied invitations.  It would be good if you can bring this to whomever can rectify and not ask us any further questions.  Many thanks for your work and dedication, I do not mean to be disrespectful but straight and to the point in the hope that action can be taken by Zoom.

    I encountered the same problem after update this morning.  Very annoying and taking up time to cut and paste date and time.  It is essential for my clients that they can see date and time of meetings.

    Zoom will never change - because they have no idea what the real problem is. They think that when you get a request to participate in a zoom meeting, that you just have to save it and then you know. They are not smart enough to understand YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ACCEPTED!!!!! So simple but sooooo far away...
