How do you create a recurring meeting in Zoom on, say, the first Monday
of the month and the third Monday of the month? As far
as I can see, the bad news is you can't do it
easily, but there is a workaround. So, let me show you.
So the first Monday of the month is not a fixed
day, okay? Because the first Monday of this month might be the 7th and the
next month might be a different day in the first seven days of the week. So,
what you can do in Zoom is to create a monthly
meeting, okay? And we'll call it first Monday
of the month.
And if you select the first Monday or starting of next month
so that's the 7th of September at the time that I'm creating. You
obviously, you set the time zone and 'm saying that this meeting is a
recurring meeting and it's going to recur
on the first monday of the month and that will continue you know for this
until this time or or after so many occurrences and so
that's going to continue on the first monday of the month so we create that
first meeting and then you obviously you send it to whoever the
invitees are and then you can create another meeting
schedule a meeting and say okay and this is the
uh third monday of the month a bit of a problem and i'll show you why
it's a problem but we so we're going to go for the third
monday of the month which is uh one two three so that's so that's going
to be so the 21st is the next monday of the
month check the time and so on and i'm going
to make that recurring meeting and we'll say that it's monthly
and it's going to repeat every month on the
third monday of the month okay and then i still have to do an
end date can you do is do it with no end date apparently not
okay can we leave that blank
we can't huh okay so that's how we do it is you create one meeting for the first
monday one for the third monday of the month
and once again you save that now the problem with this
is that if you want to change things on the meeting
change the list of inverters change change the
content of the meeting the agenda and so on
or any of these other settings such as whether the host can
whether the video is on for participants or off when they join the meeting
then you've really got to do that for the two
separate meetings similarly if you need to stop
this meeting then you want to you want to stop
this regular meeting on the first monday and on the third monday of the month
now is there another way around it well not in zoom and also i'm using google
calendar and in google calendar it's the same thing is that in google
calendar when you create a meeting and so in
google calendar when you create a meeting
once again you can you can say i'm going to create this meeting in google
calendar on the first monday of the month which is the seventh
and then you can say repeat but once again your monthly on the first
monday of the month that's repeating now google calendar
does have this advantage that you can have an an unlimited number of
meetings uh so you don't have to have an end date
or a fixed number of meetings so that's on the first monday
of the month can we do it to custom instead custom doesn't allow us
to change uh to to change it from you know the first
monday and the third monday of the month so
we've still got a problem on google calendar
but what google calendar also does and so this is setting it up in google
calendar in your calendar it may be different if you're using outlook or
something else is you can then add video conferencing
and and then you specify your zoom meeting i
have another video showing how to do that
to so that in google calendar you'll have this
option for the zoom meeting video conferencing
but the short answer is you need to create one entry for the first
monday of the month and another one for the third monday of
the month however if you use another tool
another calendar tool such as schedule one schedule once or calendly
or some of those other calendar tools they may allow you to
specify first and third monday of the month
