Such basic tasks should be done right, so they don’t create problems for the host and participants. Last night I was in a church Zoom meeting and saw intelligent but new hosts struggling to manage breakout rooms and failing to be able to show a PDF file to everyone. If I were in charge of Zoom (I’m a retired software engineer with 40 years’ experience), I would immediately poll the users as to what features they would have added, changed, or removed and would stage a series of releases to change Zoom into a truly wonderful product, easy to customize in many ways. There are so many limitations in Zoom and especially in its Meeting interface, it is a wonder that it has been recently adopted so widely. I think this is a stupid limitation, since there is no security reason for failing to provide such a functionality. So my understanding is that when a meeting is created, one can obtain a meeting link that contains an encoded password, but that one cannot create such an encoded password oneself (or, for that matter, decode the password from the encoded version in the URL). This way, you and your coworkers won’t have to worry about having the right ID every time you join a meeting.That is too bad. That way, your recurring meetings will take place as frequently as you need them.īy going through this process, you’re ensuring that all of these meetings will have the same Meeting ID. If none of these options work for you, there’s a “Custom” option as well. Google Calendar will provide you with several options from the drop-down menu. Review all the options and select “Save”.Below the scheduled date, you can open a drop-down menu that will give you options for the recurrence of your Zoom meeting.

Google Calendar will automatically create an event with all the settings of your Zoom meeting.If you have chosen Google Calendar, you’ll be prompted to sign in to your Google account.Select “Save” and the calendar you use will open.Choose your meeting settings and then select “Recurring meeting”.Select the Schedule button (icon of a calendar.).Open the Zoom webpage or desktop client and sign in.Here’s how to schedule a recurring Zoom Meeting: Zoom Portal
