Hi, 

We have three zoom licences for the business; we share the host and co-host meetings between all three employees.

Here is my problem: When a cohost starts a meeting and runs it, and I (the host) try to start a new discussion on my computer, it wants to end the current session created and run by one of the alternative hosts.

This has never happened before, and I need to know what is happening; it stops anyone who set up the meeting as a host from using zoom if an alternative host is running the meeting.

What do I do, and how do I fix this? We (the host and alternative host) must be able to run meetings without the primary host. The primary host, who is maybe doing another event, can start and stop zoom meetings without stopping the current event from running via the alternative host. 

BIG PROBLEM with NEW ZOOM set up: What is going on?

This is a real-life scenario that just happened, we have recreated it several times and, on all occasions, we get logged out of meetings.

If someone has scheduled a Zoom meeting as a host and created an alternative host, the Host is free to run a separate Zoom meeting, even when he is not logged into the original meeting or at least zoom used to work this way. For some reason zoom has changed this or they have a BIG bug in the new zoom system that makes it useless.

This caused an event for us on 22nd Feb; the original host was not in the 1st meeting (meeting one). It was started by and run by an alternative host.

Meeting one was started and running fine by the alternative host and then was cancelled/stopped; the alternative host had no idea what happened; this closed the meeting for the alternative host and would not allow them to log back into the meeting without disconnecting all participants. 

The original host, who was not in meeting one and had not dialled into the meeting one at all, was set up to attend another zoom meeting (meeting two) via his own zoom schedule. When the host from meeting one (who was not part of the other meeting or dialled into the other meeting) tried to access his zoom meeting two (the other meeting), he received a warning saying he (the host) was already in a meeting and if he continued he would need to log out of the other meeting. As this was the first time in 3 years we had seen this, we did not know that it was going to end meeting one (even though he was not part of meeting one) in order to attend meeting two.

He clicked on the close meeting button and continued to meeting two (he had no idea that this would close the other meeting). Thinking that he hadn't closed a meeting from earlier in the day, he proceeded with the close meeting.  This closed meeting one and would not allow the alternative host to log back in and start meeting one without disconnecting all participants.

The Alternative host had to log back into the meeting one to resume the original meeting room

We must find out from Zoom why hosts are somehow locked to the meeting they've scheduled and these cannot be fully owned by the alternative host. This new BUG makes zoom redundant as we have a business here we hold 3 full professional licenses and all 3 host/alternative hosts can now no longer use zoom for another meeting if they are the original host of the meeting

What is going on with ZOOM?

I have a virtual presentation coming up but for the past few meetings, I keep receiving this notification over and over again. I am logged into my network but still it comes up... The notification says- "Unable to establish secure connection to zoom. Open your browser to check your internet connection. This may happen if you have to login to your network or you are using public wifi" But I am not using a public wifi and I am logged into my own wifi
