Make sure you are signed into the Zoom account that scheduled the meeting. I have seen this happen often when someone is not actually signed in.

Thanks ChrisO - I have been dealing with this situation for months and one of the first things I checked. So far, the best solution I've found is to click the meeting link and not the blue "join meeting" button on the calendar invitation that I created.
