Does Zoom allow you to have two meetings scheduled at the same time initiated from the same account? IE two 50 person meetings at 6pm?

Best answer by Dan_ZoomSE

Licensed users on Enterprise, Business, and Education accounts can host up to 2 meetings at the same time. Both meetings need to be started by the original meeting host or by an alternative host. The host can leave the meeting and pass host privileges to another user if needed.

Notes:

While these users can have 2 meetings active concurrently, by default they will be unable to join multiple meetings simultaneously on the desktop client.
You can't host multiple webinars at the same time.

Hi @tschultz89 ,

It is possible, but it depends on your account type. You can find out more about hosting concurrent meetings.

Thanks Dan.

If a licensed user scheduled 3 meetings at the same time by mistake, does it mean the host/the alternative host can't start the 3rd meeting? Thanks.

Our tests have not shown a limit to the number of meetings that can be in one user account as long as there are different folk to host them. For instance, we have successfully run and recorded to cloud 5 concurrent meetings each with a different alternative host on one user account.

Edit 5/25/22:

Since this time, I've encountered the same limit as others. We have not made any changes to the account that should have caused this. I think zoom is "correcting" things.

Hello @Clifferton ,

Concurrent means the same user hosting more than one meeting at the same time. Every user on your account can host their own meeting at the same time, but none of them can have two or more active meetings assigned to the same user at the same time unless they have the add-on license for concurrent meetings.

Does anyone have any guidelines for joining 2 Zoom meetings? Like turning off a camera if you need to come off mute and speak in the other meeting?

I've seen some folk be able to show their camera feed and microphone to more than one meeting. That is not my experience. I've noticed if I want to talk or be seen in one meeting, I need to turn my camera and mic off in the other meeting first.
