Limit the usefulness of the Zoom link to exclusively the booked date and time

In our organization, people use Calendly to book the Zoom room and have their meetings. Unfortunately, the meeting links often also work at dates and times different from the booked ones. So, for example, let’s say I booked the room for an online meeting on March 30, 8:00 – 9:00 am. I would then receive a Calendly email with the details and the Zoom link, and if I use the link on March 27 at 2:45 pm, it’ll let me enter the room.

 

The problem with this is that one person can book the room for a particular date and time–receiving one link, and someone else can occupy it–with a different link–right before the meeting. When that happens, those who try to use the room for the booked meeting, receive a message saying, “the host has another meeting in progress” and are locked out.

 

How can we fix this? For example, is there a way to make the links work exclusively at the booked dates and time? If I booked the Zoom room for March 30, 8:00 - 9:00 am, the link should only work during that specific hour. That way, people would never be locked out of the room for booked meetings.

 

I hope that wasn’t too confusing. I already asked on the Calendly community forum, and I was told everything related to the Zoom link corresponds to Zoom and not Calendly. That's why I'm now asking here. Thank you in advance!

Time limit

Hello,

I have a work meeting coming up and am on the basic account. Will I still be limited to the 40 minute time restraint?

2 days ago, when I went for à zoom meeting, no more sound and no more video. The sound came back by testing it. But not the video : the screen is always black. Zoom tell me :"choose another camera", but I have not another, only one, and so, I don't know what to do.  Until now, for more than a year, all was always ok, but now, no. 

So thank you if somebody can help me.

I am french, I speak a little english and I hope I understand the english explanations.. Thank you for helping me.

`pactl` is pulseaudio, see details here - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+question/709476

 

I would encourage your engineering team to take a quick look and guard this; because 22.04 is released next month so you'll have a lot of users experiencing a complete crash.

 

Thanks for following up

Pretty much nothing about my setup has changed from one day to the next.

My system does not need more RAM, meets the minimum reqs by about 100x, etc.

 

It just seems that for years Zoom worked perfectly fine and then one day I loaded it up it freezes my whole computer. Everything I try to do has about 10-15 seconds of lag... whenever I close the program (I have to control + alt + delete because I cannot even click the exit button), it automatically restarts itself like a zombie and locks everything up again.

 

I use virtual meetings about 15 hrs per week... with no way to contact Zoom support or any offer of a fast resolution, I will be looking for a different video conferencing software if I cannot figure out a resolution in the next 48 hours.

 

If there are any miracle workers out there, now's your time to shine.
