Scheduling meeting on a linked calendar causes Zoom to redefine Zoom meeting title & recurrence

I am having an issue with Zoom’s way of grabbing recurrent meeting links and making it something other than what I intended it to be. 

 

The background: I have a habit of creating a few recurrent Zoom meeting ID that has a “Meet Anytime” attribute that I use for multiple meetings that have the same theme. For example, consider a case of someone working in academia: when I am consulting clients of a particular service, I have one Zoom link that I use all the time for that particular purpose. When I am teaching a workshop, I have one other Zoom link dedicated to all the workshops I teach. Then when I am mentoring students for project “X”, it will be another Zoom link. So, in my example above, there will be three Zoom meeting IDs that I want to maintain. 

 

The problem happens because I linked my Zoom calendar with my primary calendar, which happens to be Microsoft Office 365. When I paste a Zoom link to one meeting invite (sent via MS Outlook 365), then Zoom syncs in that meeting invite to its own calendar space, effectively creating a new Zoom meeting. But this has an undesirable side effect, that is, the recurrent Zoom ID was grabbed by Zoom and reassigned to that particular meeting. Worse, Zoom also changed the title of that reserved Zoom meeting ID to the title of the meeting. That is not what I want at all! Effectively, this changes my recurrent meeting to become a one-time or time-specified recurrent meeting. The one-time meeting cause a serious trouble, because within 30 days after the meeting, the meeting ID that I reserved for indefinitely recurrent uses will be deleted by Zoom. 

 

Can somebody help me navigate through this landmine? In other words, is there a way to prevent a recurrent, open-ended Zoom meeting ID from being hijacked by Zoom to become a non-recurrent Zoom meeting. 

 

 

How to reproduce: 

(1) Create a Zoom meeting ID on Zoom web platform as a “no fixed time” recurrent meeting. Give a title, say, “My most valued client meeting”. 

(2) Link another calendar to Zoom (in my case, Enterprise Office 365) so I can see the Office 365 calendar events on Zoom. 

(3) From the other calendar, create a meeting invite, and enter the Zoom meeting URL that was created in step (1) above as the “meeting location”. The title should be different from (1), let’s say, the event name is: “Discuss business proposal with CEO of ABC, LLC”. 

(4) Watch how the Zoom ID created in (1) above redefined in Zoom platform: The title becomes the same as the the calendar invite title (“Discuss business proposal with CEO of ABC, LLC”) and the recurrence becomes redefined to whatever (3) says. If it is a one-time meeting, then the recurrence of the meeting coordinate is GONE. 

 

What I want instead: 

Step (3) above should never redefine anything on the “no fixed time” meeting settings.

Audio closes the meeting!!!! Crazy!

The application closes the meeting when I access the audio. The audio configuration tab is not working; also closes. Any suggestions?

Hello

 

I am a FREE USER 

I haven't paid any subscription ever

I have blocked and deleted wrong contact from my Zoom Messager 

I am trying to get that contact back, but it is not working 

 

Asked on google where Zoom has blocked users list 

Google gave me this:

Manage Blocked Numbers
Log in to the Zoom web portal.
In the left navigation menu, select Phone.
Click the Settings tab.
Scroll down to the Others setting section and locate Blocked List.
Select Manage Blocked List.
I don't have anything past ''others''

Nothing at all 

On another search it says ''phone management'' 

I got nothing here 

Just button ''BUY A PLAN''

 

I need to find my BLOCKED USERS list so I can unblock that user and re-add him on the zoom messager 

Do I have to buy a plan to do that?

 

Thank you

I need a good solution for chronic latecomers to my ZOOM online classes. I want to manage attendance by closing the meeting at a certain time. I've tried using the Waiting Room, but my students don't always have robust Internet connection and have had trouble entering. I'm not familiar with the Lock Meeting function. Any suggestions?

Multiple simultaneous sessions

I am using Zoom Workspace and unlike Cisco Webex, two online sessions cannot be joined simultaneously. Can anyone confirm this?

Your Spanish translation is incorrect

When someone goes to upload an image and save it, your translation for the Spanish version of Zoom is incorrect. It says "Ahorrar" which is save, but as in saving money. The save that you want is Guardar.

I’m planning a virtual open day for parents with around 150 attendees. I’d like to start with a 30-minute recorded video and then continue with a live Q&A session. What’s the best way to set this up on Zoom, and how do I generate the appropriate link to share with parents? Any tips on managing the session effectively would also be appreciated!

Zoom App. Version 6.3.0.0, Logitech BCC950 Conference Cam and Windows 11

Having gone through the Zoom Community postings and not finding an appropriate solution to the problems my system is having, I offer the following:

 

I have a Windows 11 HP PC, Version 24H2, 64 bit operating system, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER A/V card. When using a Logitech BCC950 for Zoom conferences, the audio for the microphone quickly cuts out and a flickering develops in the video display.  The Zoom App Versions is 6.3.0.0.  All other drivers, as best I can assess, are up to date and there are no other system operation problems.  The Logitech conference cam is a plug & play item that works well in a Windows 10 environment.

 

I’ve gone through many of the checklist possibilities of potential solutions on the Zoom Community postings too.  Are there driver updates or other solutions available for the Windows 11 system environment to resolve these issues?

 

Thank you -

Meeting screen does not start

On a PC that only runs Zoom, a message saying "The system is operating at low performance" is displayed, and you cannot hold a meeting with Zoom. Is there any solution?
