Participants can't enter meeting - message says host is already in another meeting.

Hi @twade thanks for your post, sounds like you are getting pretty frustrated which is understandable. Rather than me try to fix this is in the community it might be best to get some one on one support through a trouble ticket. Here is a link, could you let me know if you are able to open a case? https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new

One other thought, if you are able to go to https://zoom.us/ and sign in there, then look at the "Meetings" tab on the left and see if somehow you are getting double meetings when scheduling.

You can also schedule through this page, on the right side "Schedule a Meeting." Perhaps if your current scheduling method is creating more than one meeting you could try this way as an interim step of working through the issue in more detail with support. 

Thank you, I do hope that helps! 

Hi @twade just to be sure someone is reaching out to you, our community support folks opened a Zoom Support case on your behalf, and you should have seen an email from Zoom Support recently. 

If this has answered your question to your satisfaction, please click the "Accept as Solution" button below but if not please reply and we can continue the  discussion. Thank you!

Hi twade, did you get a resolution for this?  I've got exactly the same problem and are having to cancel classes.
Symptom 1 is identical,  however if the other side logs in first using my personal meeting room, then they get stuck with, "Waiting for the host to start the meeting" which never changes when I do.  If I restart the meeting then the attendee then gets the message that I'm in another meeting (when I'm not).  Very frustrating!!

I'm dealing with the same issue -- all day long. 

I am unable to start meetings that I have originated (I am the host) and I am unable to join meetings.  

The response I receive says Start new meeting?  You will have to leave this meeting to start the new meeting.  However, I am not in a meeting. When I click on the red button which reads, Leave & start -- it does nothing.

I have powered off my computer several times to see if this will address the issue.

I have signed out and signed into my zoom account to address the issue.

I reset my password.

I installed the most current update from Zoom.

None of these actions have changed the status of the issue.  I cannot join Zoom links that I have originated nor can I join others. I continue to get this message and cannot seem to address the status which says I am in another meeting.  I only have Zoom installed on one device and so it's been totally frustrating to try to get this figured out.  Chatting in the support function only adds to the frustration.  I did submit a Zoom support ticket.

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. (It sounds like Zoom turned a lot of ours off!) Read this:
