Do you schedule meetings for someone else? Any chance you’ve started doing the same in Zoom?<\/p>\n

Did you know that you can only run one meeting at a time<\/a> from the same Zoom account? In fact, you could end <\/em>an in-progress meeting by starting the next one, if the two meetings were scheduled on the same account.<\/p>\n

Here’s what happens<\/h3>\n

Last week you scheduled two meetings on your Zoom account, and you named an alternative host<\/a> to run the first one. You go to start the second meeting while the first meeting is still happening.<\/p>\n

You get this…<\/p>\n

\"end-other-meeting\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… so you click “End Other Meeting”. Of course. Because you’re thinking “What the heck is Zoom is talking about? Clearly I’m not\u00a0<\/em>in another meeting. It’s probably just confused.”<\/p>\n

Those who are<\/em> in that other meeting get this lovely notice:<\/p>\n

\"zoom-meeting-ended\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oops.<\/p>\n

It does<\/em> make sense when you think about Zoom’s per-user licensing model. If you could buy just one Zoom license, then schedule as many overlapping meetings as you like, why would any organization buy more than one license?<\/p>\n

The good news is twofold:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All faculty, staff, and students at UVic have paid Zoom accounts<\/li>\n
  2. You can give another UVic Zoom user scheduling privileges<\/a> to your Zoom account<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n

    Maria provides administrative support to a group of supervisors in her department. She has “delegate” privileges to their Outlook calendars, and has been setting up meetings on their behalf for years.<\/p>\n

    Along comes Zoom. She’s been setting up Zoom meetings, using her own Zoom account and adding the supervisors as alternative hosts<\/a> so they can start the meetings themselves. It doesn’t take long before they hit the overlapping-meeting scenario and we have some unhappy people.<\/p>\n

    The solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Each supervisor adds Maria to their Zoom account in the scheduling privileges<\/a> section.<\/li>\n
    2. Maria re-signs in to her Zoom account on the desktop client to get the new permissions.<\/li>\n
    3. Maria schedules a meeting, selecting the “Schedule For”<\/strong> option in the Advanced Options section.<\/li>\n
    4. Maria selects the supervisor’s name from the picklist. The Zoom meeting will be scheduled on the supervisor’s Zoom account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Summary<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. You can’t run concurrent Zoom meetings<\/a> from the same account<\/li>\n
      2. If you schedule meetings for others, have them add you to their Zoom account with scheduling privileges<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
