Audience: Team leaders, members managing events.

Short answer: When creating a team event, tick Auto-create a
Zoom meeting. The platform calls the Zoom API and wires the join link
into the event's Join Meeting button. For recurring events, all
occurrences share one Zoom meeting that works indefinitely.

Step-by-step

1. Open Manage Events for your team.
2. Click Create Event (or pick a saved template — if the
   template was saved with auto-Zoom on, the box pre-checks).
3. Fill in event type, title, date, time, etc.
4. Tick Auto-create a Zoom meeting.
5. Save the event.
6. The event now has a populated Join Meeting button (same place
   as a manually pasted Zoom link).

What happens behind the scenes

• One-off event: TPN creates a Zoom meeting of type 2
  (scheduled) at the event's start time.
• Recurring event: TPN creates a single Zoom meeting of type 3
  (recurring, no fixed time). Every generated occurrence copies the
  parent's join URL — so the same link works for every session in
  the series.
• The parent event stores zoom_meeting_id, zoom_join_url,
  zoom_start_url, and zoom_password. Children store only the
  join URL — they don't own the Zoom meeting.

Templates remember the toggle

If you check Save as template along with Auto-create a Zoom
meeting, the template stores the toggle. Loading that template
later auto-checks the Auto-create a Zoom meeting box for you.

Notes / gotchas

• Deleting a child occurrence does NOT kill the Zoom meeting —
  the rest of the series keeps working.
• Deleting the parent event DOES delete the Zoom meeting (the
  whole series is gone).
• Manual paste still works — if you'd rather paste a link from
  Zoom yourself, leave the toggle off and use the Meeting URL
  field. Both flows produce the same Join Meeting button.
• Type 3 meetings have no scheduled start time in Zoom — that's
  intentional, so the same link works whenever your recurring event
  runs.
