Recurring meetings - no fixed time

Hi, this post is more for curiosity. I'm wondering if I am in a tiny minority of people who have a large number of "No Fixed Time" meetings. This is because we have many clients with whom we "hop on a call" on short notice, at varying times. This use case seems to be a real second-class citizen, in that,

 

a. You can't create such meetings from the desktop app

b. The whole page is wasted space for me - see screenshot. I have to scroll down, click the tiny "Recurring meetings" link, and then scroll down through my many meetings to find one (alpha-sorted of that list was restored in - thanks!). Most of the screen is used with the beach umbrella and "no meetings scheduled, enjoy your day". (I don't have any meetings SCHEDULED, but unfortunately in my situation, that isn't automatically a beach day... sigh.)

 

If this is indeed a low priority use case, that's fine, but I have one small suggestion: at the top of this page can there be a simple one-line quick search box? That way I can quickly "zoom in" (ha) on my desired meeting. I believe that feature would equally benefit those have *scheduled* recurring meetings. Thanks!

My only use case for Zoom is ad hoc meetings at no fixed time. I have multiple rooms set up for different purposes and what made Zoom great was that it was easy to organize and navigate. The changes to the UI that have removed the ability to quickly see all recurring lines and hop on with a single click are causing me to consider moving to another platform. I don't see why the meeting tab would be merged with the calendar as they have separate functions and now they have just apparently blown off anyone who uses it for its original purpose.

 

Zoom, please at least make it an option to return to the view with the simple list of meeting lines.

I also captured this screenshot, I was worried the recurring meetings had been removed, but clicked around and found them. So even just making them easier to find would be nice 🙂

 

 

 

Can you tell me where you found them? There used to be a small line saying 'view recurring meetings', but today I found out that has disappeared as well. All my meetings, like for so many of you, are recurring with no fixed pattern. It's crazy that you can only find them if you log in to the online version of zoom. Definitely thinking about switching now. If I can't find my meetings in the app, how can I use the program I pay so much for?

Arretje.. lekker.. haha

 

So things have improved a bit. First to answer your see, the screenshots below.

The "Recurring Meetings" link shows below the empty calendar. I'd like that to be a big dumb button on top for easy access and no confusion. It's not like there is... a lack of space ... 🙂

 

The good thing though, if you click that link, there is now a more readable recurring popup and it shows up all the time by default so you don't need to click the link every time. This is a big improvement. A quick search in that popup so I can type a few letters and start one of my recurring meetings immediately, would be even nicer.
