Creating an .ics or invite to add to calendar

[vmh]

Hi,

Struggling to find an option that lets me email people with a scheduled zoom link, allowing them to add an .ics or add to calendar link.

The pages and instructions I've followed don't seem to give current advice.

Such as: Enabling webinar email ICS calendar attachments (zoom.com)

But there is no .ics option in any of my settings...

Looking at previous options that suggest scheduling it as a recurring event hasn't proved successful for me either.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hello,

Zoom allows you to create an ics file. I’m on mobile right now, but if you go to the Zoom support site you should be able to find the process kb article.

Basically, you need to enable it as an admin at the account level. Then you enable it on your personal account settings.

You don’t need an API or other software.

 
In my screenshot it says Outlook Ics file, but you can download the Ics file and use it in any application if you don’t use outlook.

Regards

Hi @vmh ! I have reviewed your post and @Frank_TB has provided a solution, so I've gone ahead and marked it as an accepted solution. Please let us know if you have any additional questions!

the issue is still not solved. Please check comments bellow.

THIS has clearly NOT been resolved. Could you please direct us to the CURRENT answer about how to enable attaching an .ics file  or export an invitation as an .ics file? This is BASIC functionality.  It shouldn't be this difficult.

Where do I enable the ICS calendar file? You stated, "Enable it as an admin at the account level."

I'm in ADMIN > Account Management > Account Settings and still do not see this option. What am I missing? Thank You

I'm experiencing the same thing. I can see that the feature is missing. The recommendation above is no longer valid.

me too....where is this now?

[Ana_Stevanovic]

guys, this is a real problem. I first did something and it allowed me to send the .ics and then suddenly it stopped sending again within a day! Whatever I do in account management, it just keep sending my invites as a regular mail. No .ics file. HELP!

Same here. No way to send calendar attachments in zoom invitations.

[Rance500]

I have exact same issue.  Were you able to resolve?

[scry42]

Well it's 2025 now, and I need this to work and have in fact had it work, but can't seem to make it happen on purpose, and I certainly don't see any options to choose to MAKE it happen.  Have had it work for one person and not another - both folks on the same meeting invite.  All the solutions I have been able to find appear to be out of date.  Help of any kind from anybody???

[irmwrites]

this is really frustrating that no one can seem to find the correct solution. this is a pretty basic feature.

[bobby10]

Agreed.  Why does Zoom no longer send ICS invitiations.  It makes the service near useless!!!!!   ZOOM PLEASE RESPOND AND FIX>

Zoom is ruined. Now I need to double-enter my meetings into Zoom and my calendar. This sucks.

FYI, Zoom customer support suggested I roll back by downloading these.  The mac version restored the ics functionality!!!!

Please test the version below and let us know how it goes:

• Intel-based
  https://zoom.us/client/6.4.6.53970/Zoom.pkg
• M-based
  https://zoom.us/client/6.4.6.53970/Zoom.pkg?archType=arm64

[bobby10]

Zoom customer support linked me to a roll back version of the app that restored this vital functionality.  It now works again.  (but I cant paste the links here......)

I also need this functionality – so how did you get it to work? 

[irmwrites]

I have no idea. It works for me now only if I schedule the meeting from the Zoom desktop (browser) account - not from the app.  Then you can edit the meeting to find an option for downloading an ics file. I download that and send it to people separately via email.  Trying to email them directly from the Zoom app does not seem to work.
