 I'm having the same problem and can't seem to find an answer at any resource.  Have you had any luck in solving this?  If yes, please share.  Thanks

Following.  The same problem, and the only suggestion is a Zoom app upgrade.  I am already using the most recent released app update (6.3.6).  I have been using this feature for classes, so I definitely need a solution ASAP.

So this feature is no longer available???   It was essential to my virtual language learning courses!  Wow!  It is the main reason why I purchased the Pro version of this software.  If they will not be reintroducing it, I will have to find another platform to use.  And I have just invested in the Zoom Scheduler features as well!  This is very disappointing!
