KUALA LUMPUR: Zoom Video Communications Inc (Zoom) has announced general availability for its new Zoom Scheduler tool and the extension of the free signup period until July 20.
According to a statement, Zoom Scheduler makes finding the perfect meeting time easier by sharing availability for others to conveniently book appointments.
“We heard again and again from our customers that they were looking for a convenient way to book appointments without leaving the Zoom platform. With Zoom Scheduler, they can.
“Based on positive feedback, we will be offering Zoom Scheduler for free for anyone to try for one more month,” said Zoom head of Product, Solutions, and Industry Marketing, Joseph Chong.
Zoom Scheduler allows hosts to generate windows of availability that others can use to book appointments while users will be able to grow their businesses faster and get more done so they can spend more time on what matters, which is preparing for the meeting or taking a break.
Currently generally available, Zoom Scheduler places a meeting on the host’s calendar with a Zoom Meetings link already included, saving both participants time. Hosts can use their preferred calendar, in which Zoom Scheduler works seamlessly with Zoom Meetings, Zoom Mail and Calendar as well as integrates with both Google Calendar and Microsoft 365.
Zoom Scheduler integrates with Zoom Calendar, which has become a resource for meetings both before and after. Zoom Calendar offers a sidebar view alongside the Zoom desktop client, so attendees can maximise their time by seeing if others have joined the meeting yet.
Features of Zoom Scheduler include the ability to schedule one-on-one meetings or one-to-many group meetings and specify how many people can attend any available slot; choose recurring availability or custom availability for one-off meetings; and automate and customise email notifications. – BERNAMA
