Hi Zoom Developer Community,

I’m working on a mentorship feature for a platform called OceanM, where healthcare professionals can book virtual mentorship sessions with senior mentors. We are currently using the Zoom API to facilitate these sessions and have encountered an issue.

### Use Case:

- Multiple mentorship sessions need to happen simultaneously.
- Each session involves only two participants (the mentor and mentee), with no host from our organization present.
- Ideally, users should not need to log in to a Zoom account and should be able to join the meeting directly via the join URL.

### Current Setup:

- We use a Zoom Pro (Named Host) account.
- Meetings are created via the `/users/me/meetings` endpoint (JWT Account-Level App).
- The meeting settings include `join_before_host: true` and `waiting_room: false`.
- The join URL is shared with participants, who then access the meeting via the Zoom app or browser.

### Problem:

When one meeting is active (at least one participant has joined), subsequent meetings created with the `/users/me/meetings` endpoint result in the error:  
**“This host is already running another meeting.”**

### Question:

What is the best way to handle this scenario so we can support multiple simultaneous mentorship sessions?

JWT app-type had been deprecated for a while now. You must be using an account-level OAuth. If you’re creating via the `me` url parameter, is the understanding that all of these simultaneous meetings are hosted by one person? There are limitations on the number of simultaneous meetings that share a singular host. Are you able to enable “schedule for” and create meetings on behalf of the other users so there are different hosts scheduling the meetings?

hey @oceanm  
Did this workout for you? we’re trying to implement something similar. Were you able to create mulitple active simultaneous meetings where host is not present in anyone of them ?
