I've really found this quite maddening.

Look, I am trying to schedule Zoom Meetings, IN ZOOM. So simple, right?

But literally every google search, zoom article, and the app itself ASSUME WITHOUT EVER ASKING that I mean for meetings that I host.

NO.

FOR MEETINGS I HAVE TO JOIN. Recurring meetings that happen every Monday at 6am or Friday at 5 pm on and on.... I have a dozen a week, they often happen while I am mobile, and quite often that means while driving.... and using my own smartphone notifications to create the notifications then putting the zoom creds in there so I know what to type in.... ugh... then opening the app...ugh.... typing all those numbers in on the TINY NUMBERS since the numbers only zoom meeting ID doesn't open 10 key numbers keyboard but the ALPHANUMERIC kb where the numbers are TINY.... then clicking through prompts, tabbing over to the reminder again to get the passcode, blah blah blah.

I have assumed from the start that it must be an obvious, included feature to set all that up ONCE in the mobile app, with all details, from my Zoom account on a REAL hardware keyboard, and then when I am on the road, notification pops up, I click it, it uses the already provided connection details to JOIN the meeting and I can AMAZINGLY, in 2026, BOTH make all my meetings AND not endanger everyone on the road around me without having to find an exit and pull over, join late, blah blah blah.

But every google search just assumes that ANYTHING ZOOM RELATED, that has a regularly recurring time to join, SIMPLY MUST BE A MEETING YOU HOST, NOT A MEETING YOU JOIN?

It's insane how little(ZERO) documentation I can find for such an obviously required feature.
