No one can get into my Personal Room anymore

For months, I go into my personal room and when people use the link, they simply show up and I let them in. 

Well, not anymore. They wait for the host to start the meeting, or it says the host is in another meeting, while I'm waiting for them to show in the waiting room.  There's no way to connect with them, as if we are in different rooms. This is the primary way I use Zoom -- to screen share with clients -- and I'm dead in the water. I tested it with several people on different computers and locations and no dice.

HOWEVER, it seems if I wait long enough, it seems I get an email someone is waiting and THAT link works. But that is a PIA. What's the deal?
