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.

Hi Dan,

all our staff have zoom accounts. Our admin staff schedule a lot of meetings for groups and on behalf of execs and are running into the 2 meeting limitation. I know there is the concept of scheduling on behalf of others which can get difficult to keep track of, but is there anyway or any special setup that can be done to all admin staff to host/own more that just two meetings?

Make sure you have been configured with scheduling privileges in Zoom (not just your calendar). This way when you schedule a meeting for other users you are scheduling the proper user as the host and not booking multiple meetings against your user account at the same time.

Yes, Like @Dan_ZoomSE said. As an administrator, you should be able to access a user's account and schedule in their profile. This will reduce the number of times you have problems with the 2 meetings thing.

I've also got 4 non-user zoom service accounts. Imaginiatively called ***********, zoom2@... etc. that I use when I need to make events that shouldn't belong to another person. This 2 meeting limit is certainly a pain though. It should be removed for Admins. It would certainly make our lives easier.

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.
