We have a business account, once I start a meeting / open a room.
How do I start a second meeting / room?
I appreciate any help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @mda
On a Business account, if you are starting your first meeting in the app, then I find the easiest way to to start a second meeting is to use a start link: https://zoom.us/start/videomeeting

Thank you, I started the first meeting from a link in gmail that took me to the desktop (mac) app and started the meeting in the zoom app.
Then I clicked the link you supplied and it prompted saying I was in another meeting and the option was to cancel that other meeting or cancel.
So I was not able to start another meeting.
I appreciate any help.

Hi @mda
Are you the Host of the first meeting, and are you trying to be Host of the second meeting - i.e. you want to Host two meetings at once, or you want to Join two meetings at once, or one of each?)
You are for-sure on a Business account, not a Pro account?

Ah, we are a pro account not business, I thought a pro would allow hosting 2 meetings, which is what I wanted to do. -
ERG, and I just double checked the post I got my info from and of course, it does not say Pro... so there you go...
So appreciate your time ....
God Bless

So if we do upgrade to a business account, are we able to have a second 'static' url for the second room? If so how do we get that second link, and if not, is the best/only way to host the second meeting by using the link you sent above?
