Zoom Chrome Extension stopped working alongside Ghostery ad blocker with Google Calendar

I have Ghostery ad blocker installed and have had it for a few years now. Scheduling meetings with Zoom Chrome Extension has worked fine until early June 2024. 

 

Now I click "Make It A Zoom Meeting" in the calendar event editing page and I get this error message:

 

"calendar.google.com says / Schedule meeting failed. Please try again".

 

Switching off Ghostery entirely (eg for every site) fixes it, but obviously I don't want to switch off my ad blocker for every site!

 

Trusting zoom.us and calendar.google.com sites in Ghostery doesn't fix it.

 

Thoughts as to what is going on? Is there a new site which needs whitelisting or is the Scheduling extension doing something it shouldn't be...?

I have exactly the same problem.  It also started in the last two or three weeks.

Thanks Carla - yes after restarting Chrome a couple of days ago this functionality now works again. Thanks!
