**Description** We are trying to make an application with Zoom where the application, when requested, will generate the zoom meeting link and share it with two end-users. To do so, the application, when requested, will generate a meeting link using CreateAPI and share the Join-Url detail (CreateAPI response) with the users. [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) and the same flow will be followed whenever the two new end-user requests for a meeting. 1. Is this Feasible, as there are chances two different end users would have a meeting at the same time? 2. The documentation of CreateAPI says, _“only 100 **Create a Meeting** API requests are permitted within a 24 hour window for a user.”_. So I’ll be using one account to create a meeting for my two end user, does that mean I cannot create 101 meeting ? 3. The new rate limits [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits) will remove 100 request create api clause ? Let’s say the frequency is 10-20 meeting per min. **Error** The full error message or issue you are running into. **Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?** Knowing the endpoint/s can help us to identify your issue faster.

Hi @himanshu.arora, > [@himanshu.arora](#): > > Is this Feasible, as there are chances two different end users would have a meeting at the same time?

The new rate limit will still enforce this rule. Let us know if you have any other questions. ---

Hi @michael_p.zoom, Thanks for the response. Just wanted to be clear, If I use single account to create meetings using Zoom API then I can only make 100 requests per day and If I want to make 101 request I have to use different user, right ? The use case is we have to schedule meetings between two people and the frequency will be high, I don’t want to store their data ( by creating user in my application and give them zoom account ) in my application. Could you please suggest better way to handle this situation with Zoom ? Does zoom provide any account pooling such that If I want to create more meetings with single sub-account then 101 request goes to different account ? ---

The best way would be to create enough users to handle the frequency of meetings created. > [@himanshu.arora](#): > > Does zoom provide any account pooling such that If I want to create more meetings with single sub-account then 101 request goes to different account ? Not at this time, we do not link separate accounts. You can assign a license to another user within the account only to create more meetings. Thanks ---

Hi @tommy, I have a question related to parallel meetings, from this link [https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206122046-Can-I-Host-Concurrent-Meetings-](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206122046-Can-I-Host-Concurrent-Meetings-) I learnt that a host can create two different meeting at the same time but cannot run those meeting parallely. Now if there are 2 meetings created from the same user account for the same time but both meetings have different alternate hosts. Then would these meetings be able to run in parallel ? I I think yes because alternate hosts could start those meetings, right? Please confirm. ---

@himanshu.arora I tested against that very use case the other day with a developer, and we learned… No, alternative hosts CANNOT run meetings in parallel with a host who is in a different meeting (since webinars and meetings are created on the user/host). ---
