I have the Professional paid-for version of Zoom (I think 6.5.9) and my own regular meeting room ID and passcode. A few weeks ago I followed the prompt and upgraded the Zoom on my main personal computer to the latest version. Ever since then, other users cannot join my personal meeting room. They get a message saying "Waiting for the host to start the meeting."
My secondary laptop has an older version of Zoom, 6.3.11, and on it I CAN host meetings as normal. It prompts me to upgrade to Version 6.5.9, which I will not do until I sort out the problem on my main computer.
Both my main computer and my laptop run Windows 10 Professional.

I think that I have solved the problem. When Zoom did the update, it disrupted my room settings so that I temporarily lost my own permanent room ID. So whenever I started "my" meeting, the meeting ID was random instead of my own. So now when I click the Orange "New Meeting" icon, I ensure that I tick the second box underneath saying "Use my Personal Meeting ID".
