I just updated the Zoom app, and now it does not automatically offer to generate a calendar invitation as before.  Previously, it opened my Google calendar in my browser and let me send invitations to participants when I scheduled a meeting.  Now it tried to open Microsoft Outlook, which I do not use.  How can I make Google Calendar work with Zoom again?

Hi @frankgold,

Thank you for utilizing Zoom Community for your product and feature-related questions and concerns.

 

Here's the article how you can make Google Calendar work with Zoom again.

 

Using the Zoom for Google Workspace add-on

Last Updated: September 16, 2022

With the Zoom for Google Workspace add-on, you can seamlessly schedule, join, and manage meetings directly from Gmail or Google Calendar. Your scheduler settings are synced from the Zoom web portal. After installing the add-on, you can use it in the desktop web browser (Gmail or Google Calendar) or mobile device (Google Calendar app). For further integration with Google Calendar, set up contacts and calendar integration.

If you have a Zoom Phone license, you can also make Zoom Phone calls from either your calendar or email workspace. Learn more about using Zoom Phone with the Google Workspace add-on.

For advanced meeting scheduling, we recommend you use the Zoom Scheduler extension for Chrome.

Note: On November 16, 2020, Google enabled Google Meet as default for meetings when more than one video conferencing provider is enabled. If you have Google Meet enabled in addition to Zoom, learn how to change this default.

This article covers:

Sign in to the Google Calendar app. Tap the plus icon, then Event. Tap the video conferencing drop-down and select Zoom Meeting. Google Calendar will add a Zoom Meeting to your meeting details.

Thanks for the replies.  I have now managed to restore the Google Calendar option when setting up a Zoom meeting. I don't know why Zoom's update caused the problem in the first place, but at least it's fixed now.
