Managing Zoom meetings

Find an upcoming call in Zoom, read its details and invitation, or preview a simple schedule change. These commands contact the signed-in Zoom account; they do not read the saved meeting archive. Use them to identify the next call before an agent gathers earlier discussion and project context.

Find the next call

Find my next Zoom meeting about Research Example. Show its date, timezone and invitation.
Then collect earlier discussions and open questions from stored meeting transcripts, with sources.
Do not change the meeting or save inferred links.

The list covers the signed-in host’s scheduled meetings from Zoom’s hosted-meeting API. It does not list every invitation on your calendar. Your agent assembles context from the available local sources. It does not synchronize Google/Outlook calendars or generate a brief automatically. Read-only listing needs meeting:read:list_meetings; details and invitations need the extra permissions in the app guide.

Read upcoming meetings

zm remote-meetings list --json
zm remote-meetings show 123456789 --json
zm remote-meetings invitation 123456789 --json

Remote meeting ids are Zoom's numeric ids; stored meetings commands use local database ids. Listing needs the manually added meeting:read:list_meetings scope; showing and invitations need the optional scopes in the app guide.

For a recurring series, the listed start time alone does not verify the next occurrence. The CLI does not yet expose occurrence-specific schedule reads. Confirm the intended occurrence in Zoom before relying on a preparation brief; if it cannot be checked, mark its date as unverified.

Create, update or cancel

Create, update and cancel show the proposed request by default. Add --yes to apply it once; --dry-run always keeps the preview, including when --yes is present.

zm remote-meetings create --title "Example planning" --start-time 2026-10-20T10:00:00Z --duration-minutes 30 --json
zm remote-meetings update 123456789 --title "Example review" --yes --json
zm remote-meetings cancel 123456789 --dry-run --json

Only instant and scheduled creation and basic changes are supported. Remote writes are never automatically retried. If a write was dispatched and its result is uncertain, inspect Zoom before repeating it; the CLI reports an uncertain outcome with exit code 14.

Check the preview's topic, start time and duration before adding --yes. A cancellation applies to the remote meeting, not merely its local archive record. After an applied change, read the remote meeting again or inspect Zoom to confirm its state. Use stored search and evidence for the preparation material once you have identified the intended call.
