Allowing session without host being present

[bigmuddyriver]

I am the scheduler for weekly meetings of our group.  I schedule the session, (I have a paid account) and send out notices.  Sometimes I can't be present however I alway schedule the session.  When I can't be there when members try to connect they get the message "waiting for host to start the meeting".  When I schedule the meeting I always don't require waiting room.  I need to know how to schedule a meeting and still have the meeting happen in case I can't be present.

Then you should enable this setting 'Allow participants to join anytime'

Just make sure to disable the waiting room and enable 'allow participants to join before host' or the 'allow participants to join anytime'.

You may also refer to this Zoom article that I found: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/202828525-Allow-participants-to-join-before-host
