How many people will go to Zoom and then start scratching their heads? And miss the meeting.

All public bodies must post on such bulletin board or website, if any, public notice for any called, special, or rescheduled meetings. Such notice must include the agenda, date, time, and place [emphasis added] of the meeting, ..."
