Limitations and troubleshooting of the Zoom for Google Workspace add-on

Multiple Google accounts

During the installation and use of the add-on, it is strongly recommended that you do not sign in to more than one Google account at the same time in the same browser. The add-on cannot be installed if you are signed in to more than one Google account, so if you want to install the add-on, you will only need to sign in to the account that you want to install it for. It is also important to note that when you are using the Zoom add-on and you are logged into multiple Google accounts, you will be unable to schedule Zoom meetings if you are signed into multiple Google accounts with the Zoom add-on installed.

“This is a calendar meeting” and “Google Calendar Meeting (not synced)” placeholders

It is possible to schedule a meeting with the add-on through the creation of a placeholder meeting. The meeting invitation details of that placeholder meeting are then added to the calendar event when the meeting is scheduled through the add-on. In order to sync the details of a calendar event to the Zoom meeting, such as the topic, agenda, date and time of the event, the event details must first be saved in Google before the event will be synced with the Zoom meeting. The meeting details in the calendar event will be updated a few minutes after the calendar event is saved, depending on how long it takes for the meeting details to sync with Zoom. After that, the placeholder meeting details in the calendar event will be updated as well.

In the case of a sync failure, you may notice that the placeholder meeting is displayed as “This is a calendar meeting” or as “Google Calendar Meeting (not synced)” on your list of upcoming Zoom meetings. This will be updated once the sync has been completed and should be aligned to the topic set for the calendar event once the sync has been completed.

Note: There is typically a placeholder meeting scheduled to take place on December 31, 1979, or January 1, 1980. It is at this point that the placeholder date and time will be replaced with the date and time you scheduled the calendar event and the sync will be completed.

Troubleshooting sync issues

There may be a few reasons why your calendar information has not synced with Zoom even after saving the event and you have waited a few minutes. One to consider is whether you do not have write permissions on the calendar you are scheduling for, or whether you have attempted to schedule a meeting in the past.

In order to attempt to force the sync manually, follow these steps:

1. To sign into Google Calendar, you will need to use a web browser.
2. Click on Zoom for Google Workspace in the right-side panel of the screen.
3. In order to resolve the sync issue with the Google calendar, click on the event in question. In order to accomplish this, you will need to check the calendar event ID for the Zoom meeting in order to sync any changes or missing information with the Zoom meeting.
4. Let the sync process complete within two to three minutes after you click the sync button.
