Question

how to make a recurring meeting twice a month, the first and third of the month

I see how to schedule a meeting every other week, but I want to schedule a meeting for the first and third Thursdays of every month. For months with five weeks (Like September) the every other week option won't work. Can I schedule for the first and third of the month or do I need to set up two meetings, one for the first and one for the third? THANKS!!

    Hi,SueGreenHenders

    You can do this by linking it to the scheduler.
    For example, you can download the application for the Zoom plugin for Outlook from

    Download Center - Zoom

    As Ohkawa pointed out, this is best done using a plugin, such as Outlook or Google Calendar.

     

    In Zoom, it would require two separate meetings, which means that meeting descriptions, invitee lists etc. would need to be created separately for each of the sets of meetings.

     

    I made a video about this question here.

    Hi @SueGreenHenders 

    While the initial scheduling of a recurring meeting is very rough and imprecise, one you have the total number of sessions scheduled, you can easily edit the individual sessions and move them to the date/time you need. You can even schedule a session for every week, then just delete the weeks that you don't need: 

     

    Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

    Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for but not seeing how to get to that section any more!  A while back I had used the "Add another session" that's at the bottom of your pic, and have also done "weekly" and then deleted the extras.  Much easier to do from this concise list than from the whole big intermixed list in "My  Meetings."  How does one get to this panel?

    EDIT:  Oh, I found it!  It's "show all occurrences"  within the regular Edit Meeting panel.

    I cannot find this for the life of me! Could someone walk me through where to find this?

    There are two ways to do this. You can create two separate recurring Zoom meetings or you can create one recurring meeting and edit every other occurrence. If you want to automate this there is a Zoom app, Salepager, for scheduling recurring meetings and sending invites and reminders.

    Thank you for your response. 

    Do you know a workaround for the following issue:

    I don't want to make two separate meetings because I already sent out an invite.

    And, for example, if I want to create a meeting for the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month, the every other occurrence does not line up.

    If you have a solution for this, that would be awesome!!

    Wouldn't it work if you just set the meeting for daily then inserted every 14 days in the box?
