Host is in another meeting

Hi,Terry138

Zoom is being upgraded every month, so there may be inconsistencies in meetings that were scheduled a long time ago.
I think that if you try to edit and save the meeting, the problem may go away.

I have been having the same problem as you describe beginning in July 2021.  What I have been doing is asking the invitees to text me when they get that "Host is in another meeting" message.  I then send them another invite by email and it works.  I wish someone would tell me how to fix this.  BarbaraZ

I have this issue too. BarabaZ was it ever fixed for you?

Dear Barbara, this is how I solved the problem.

I schedule the zoom meeting as usual on my desk top. For instance:

T138 meeting

7-30 pm

29/9/21

With the settings of video and audio as I want them.

Then send the invite to people.

At 7-15 pm on the day I would sign into zoom using my ipad and go to meetings so as to open the meeting 15 minutes before the designated time so people could be admitted and the meeting gets going at 7-30 pm on time.

When I went to meetings the screen would show:

T138 meeting ( with time and meeting id )    Start   Send Invitation    Edit

 I would click on Start.

That is where I was going wrong

I found that I had to first click on the T138 details on the left of the screen and it would then show:

T138 meetings     Start   Add Invitees  Edit   Delete

Now it works ok.

Hope this helps

Terry

Very frustrating! I was able to get support on this from Zoom and they found the problem. There's a toggle buried deep in the settings that allows us to start a meeting using our PMID (Personal Meeting ID) and for no apparent reason, mine had been turned off.
