Overview

Zoom does not allow a user to host multiple meetings at the same time. If the host attempts to have concurrent meetings by scheduling two different meetings at the same time and enables join before host for both meetings, the following issues can occur:

Common Issues

  • If a Zoom Room attempts to start a second meeting with join before host enabled, it will end the first meeting without warning.
