Scheduling a recurring meeting

Zoom allows you to schedule meetings with multiple occurrences so that each occurrence uses the same meeting ID and settings. You can schedule these meetings in daily, weekly, monthly, or custom increments. You can also set a recurring meeting to be used at any time (no fixed time). Meeting IDs for recurring meetings expire 365 days after the meeting was last started. 

For more information on scheduling meetings in general and all of the meeting settings, see our documentation on scheduling meetings.

The following instructions provide steps on scheduling recurring meetings in the Zoom desktop app and then adding them to either your Google Calendar or the Outlook desktop. If you prefer to schedule a recurring meeting in your Google Calendar or Outlook desktop first, the recurring meeting will automatically appear in your Zoom desktop app. Learn more about scheduling meetings in Google Calendar or the Outlook desktop app.
