I had a design presentation meeting scheduled today. I started the meeting, and no one was able to join the meeting until I logged out and back in again. Has that happened to anyone else? Attendees just saw that the host was already in a meeting, even though I was in the meeting their invitations were connected to.

I've had this issue too.

Did you ever get an answer from Zoom about what happened and how it can be avoided in the future?

No, I'm reporting it today.
