Host has another meeting in progress

I was the only host and had the settings so the participants could join at any time. I had only 2 participants currently in the meeting and waiting for a third. The third participant received the message that the host had another meeting in progress.  The third participant tried several times but was never able to join.

    The only thing I do to ensure this does not happen is that I sign into my zoom account, then sign out, then sign in again. I think that clears everything in the queue. I also delete every meeting right after we are dont...and sign out. I think that signing out and clearing everything out is crucial. I haven't had any problems with the "host in another meeting" since I've done this...I've been ok for months!

    I began using Zoom in 2017, always operating through the desktop app. In 2022 I started having that "Meeting in progress" problem. Tried different things that seemed to work but didn't last. Here's what has worked: I stay signed in online at Zoom.us. I start all meetings online. It automatically opens the desktop app. It's been almost a year now that I've done it this way and I haven't had the error since.

    I'd had the same problem. But it worked after I enabled these two options in the setting.

    I’ve had this problem for months and it seemed to be getting worse as time went by.  I was ready to quit paying for a service I couldn’t use.  Come to find out that when I set up a meeting and used the clipboard to copy the invitation to the meeting which I then forwarded to my participants, the invitation had the wrong meeting number and passcode.  Now I check the invitation to make sure it matches the meeting I’ve set up, and I haven’t had the problem recur.  There must be a bug somewhere in the invitation?

    Zoom sucks.I cannot host a meeting. The invitees get a message that I am on another meeting. I am thinking of moving my company to Teams. They are far more responsive to issues.
