Just copy/paste the details of a Zoom meeting into the repeating event and then save with the 'all events' option..  I've done that with a repeating event on my calendar. Set the Location field to be the meeting link and past any other text in the event details area. Job done.  No need to delete and re-create the event.

, An easier way to do this would be when the calendar event goes out, have the zoom host reply with the link to the zoom meeting. Then anybody can click and join the meeting that needs to.

A quick look...

It seems you cannot add Zoom to an existing event, the Zoom button is
missing if you 'edit event'. We would be looking to add Zoom to our
regular monthly meetings while the lockdown is on. So we would have to
delete that event and create a new one.

I take it only the host of the meeting can create the Zoom alert. We
would have to give our host calendar permissions for this, at the
moment we have it set so that only mods can create calendar events.

No only the person that is setting up the meeting needs a zoom account.

I may have made an error and this email wasn't generated from groups IO that said that. Sorry, but thanks for getting back to me.   I did notice another change that was made and I thank you for that! Now when graphics or embedded or inserted images were shared in groups IO, and we go to save them from the Message area of the board, we now get to see the original name that the embedded or inserted images were named instead of just 0, 1, 2 etc    Leeni

...and in addition, it would be helpful if the integration could include the dial-in details that are normally generated when I schedule a meeting through the Zoom application.

Thanks,
Andy

...and in addition, the #zoom hashtag that is added to the meeting subject line is not added to the group list of hashtags.

Regards,
Andy

there's a problem with the meeting information text that is generated in the calendar.

This should all be fixed now.

The format of the meeting invite text looks good now however I have noticed that the Zoom integration does not pick up my default values in the Zoom app. In the integration, the host & participant video defaults to 'on', waiting rooms are not enabled and it always generates a new password for each meeting.  In the Zoom application with my personal meeting id (PMI) I can keep the same password.

In which case there would need to be some sort of tracking mechanism to know if you've read the latest version.  On some groups they may never get changed, on others they may get changed as often as daily.

9:41:14 PM Central Standard Time

We are now in daylight savings time so it should read Central Daylight Time instead of Standard.

Actually, because the time is corrected properly, I think it should just say Central Time.  A lot less work and always correct! ;>)

You need a Zoom account if you are hosting a meeting. Otherwise, you can just use the Zoom application to join a meeting by entering the meeting number (and password if required).

Andy

Just a quick question since I’m not really familiar with the Zoom platform. I’ve read the description in the manual, and it’s not clear to me if everyone who signs in to the Zoom meeting must have a Zoom account or only the person who sets it up on the calendar. 

I really appreciate all you are doing, Mark, to constantly improve Groups.io.

I've wondered about this when I end up in Messages view sometimes, but never pursued it since I always end up back in Topic view.  Seems that it should be consistent so the sticky shows up no matter which view a member prefers.  If they always use Messages or Expanded, they could miss some important information and wonder why.

If I may be so bold, I am OK with "Sticky's" anywhere and everywhere as long as I can dismiss (hide) them once I have read them.

Please try it now.

Yes, it's there now.  I probably won't be using it, but it's good to know it's available

Thank you,

...and additionally I've just found an additional line that contains the meeting password. It starts with:
