Never have to start meeting it is always running

Hi John,

You can set this up through your Zoom web portal:

1. Sign in at zoom.us.
2. Go to Meetings and select the meeting you want to update.
3. Click Edit. If it’s a recurring meeting, make sure you select Edit entire series.
4. Expand Options by clicking Show.
5. Enable Allow participants to join before host and select when participants can enter.
6. Click Save.

One more thing worth checking: make sure the Waiting Room is disabled. Otherwise, participants may still find themselves waiting for you to admit them, which defeats the purpose of having the meetings available while you're on vacation.

You can also refer to our support article, Allowing participants to join before host, for more details.

That should get you set up so people can join and carry on with their meetings even when you're away!
