I have taught online with Zoom for years. My students pay me through Square invoices, so I have used the Square Appointments product for years to handle private lesson scheduling. Because of certain limitations and bugs, I plan to move away from that solution and would like to use the Zoom calendar and scheduler moving forward. I have read the documentation, and I have tried a few experiments, but I'm having some trouble accomplishing what I intend. Some clarity, please and thanks very much!

1) With Square Appointments, I set up a weekly recurring lesson time for each student myself at the beginning of each school year. Students are able to log in and cancel/reschedule single appointments as needed throughout the year, but they can't edit their recurring appointment. How do I replicate this workflow with Zoom? Is it Calendar, or Scheduler, or both? I can see that, with Scheduler, someone can find an opening and book it, but how would a student or their parent see, for instance, the lesson they have coming up later in the week in a calendar or list view somewhere, and either cancel it or reschedule it themselves?

2) Currently, new/prospective students can log in and choose an opening for their "consultation" without a recurring appointment for them in the calendar yet. I believe this would be accomplished with Zoom Scheduler, yes?

3) I already connected my Google calendar to Zoom Scheduler. Now I am confused, because when trying to use the calendar in the Zoom desktop app, it's still asking me to connect a calendar. I thought I did that already? Or is connecting a Google calendar to Zoom Scheduler a different thing than connecting a Google calendar to Zoom Calendar? I think I am confused about the intersection of these two products.

If these three questions belong in separate threads, I'll split them up. Thanks in advance!

A few days ago I tried out the new Avatar BETA feature. It worked well and I created an avatar for my informal meeting. But when I tried to disable the avatar, the camera showed as if it was disabled, even though it is on and the camera light shows it's capturing. I have reset my Windows camera, restarted, updated camera software and Zoom software - but nothing has worked. Even now when I go into Windows camera settings it shows as enabled, but I get no image. Even the other VC apps doe the same now. Has anyone else experienced this? Please help, I am a teacher and need to be on camera. Thank you.  

Last week Zoom started playing these annoying voice prompts... like the ones for recording on and recording off... but it is in general use of the app. Voice announcements occur for just about every action. For the love of god and all things good, how do you turn this off. 

I've searched Youtube and nothing comes up except for recording prompts... nothing for general prompts. I've searched all through Zoom settings and found nothing.
