Zoom for Outlook Web: Zoom creates a "[Draft]" meeting regardless if meeting is actually created

I have Zoom enabled for Outlook Web.  

Whether I use the option to always add a Zoom meeting to event invites or if I manually add a Zoom meeting to an event invite - 

Zoom always creates a "[Draft]" onto my calendar - even if I discard the creation of the invite.  To the Zoom client, it looks like a 'real' meeting and it triggers notifications, links, etc.

 

How do I prevent Zoom from creating a "[Draft]" meeting placeholder and only have a Zoom created if the Outlook Web Calendar event is actually saved?

Did you ever get this figured out? I have a user that has the same problem.

Having the same issue with Outlook desktop. 3 or 4 times a day.. a meeting that occurred weeks ago (that I scheduled) reappears in my drafts. I cant open it.. only delete it. And there is no preview. The zoom plugin seems to have some sort of bad calendar cache in it and is recreating things.
