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.
