Enabling upcoming meeting reminders

Upcoming meeting reminders notify you of upcoming meetings and allow you to join meetings with one click. If you are using calendar integration, Zoom will remind you of meetings that you are hosting and meetings that you've been invited to. You can adjust the reminders to remind you 5, 10, or 15 minutes before your meeting.

How to use upcoming meeting reminders

Turning on upcoming meeting reminders

If upcoming meeting reminders are enabled in the Zoom web portal, this setting should be automatically turned on in the Zoom desktop client after you sign out and sign in again. However, if you are not receiving reminders or if you want to adjust when you receive reminders, follow the steps below:

  1. Sign in to the Zoom desktop client.
  2. Click your profile picture then click Settings.
  3. Click General general-button.png.
  4. Select Remind me ___ minutes before my upcoming meetings.
  5. (Optional) If you would like to be reminded of your upcoming meetings earlier, select a different number from the dropdown menu.

    A reminder will notify you of the meeting at your selected time. Click or hover over the reminder to start/join the meeting or close the reminder.

Note: When upcoming meeting reminders are enabled, you'll also receive upcoming meeting notifications for Android version 12 or higher and iOS devices. However, due to limitations, Android devices will only receive upcoming notifications when the Zoom app is open in front of the screen.
