Unable to start zoom meeting via Slack

[nshenoy]

The Zoom invite sent via slack says 'waiting for the host to start the meeting' though I am a host myself. 
Typing  /zoom and clicking enter in any of the slack channels, should start a zoom meeting and let participants join the given link after the host admits. However, it is not letting the host him/herself join/start the meeting. after sending out the link via slack using /zoom command it says 'waiting for the host to start the meeting',

this is happening to me as well.  I do rock a few Zoom accounts.  I verified that I am logged into zoom.app as myself and logged into slack as myself.  It also says my name on the meeting alert window, alas I am considered a participant by clicking on the link.  If I go to my zoom.app account, the meeting doesn't exist.  It's GONE ROGUE!  

Maybe this is a way to create unlimited meetings without paying for multiple licenses!?!?!
