**Description**  
I have a websocket based application that implements web socket communication. When a client is connected to my server via a web socket and simultaneously joins a zoom meeting, the client web socket is closed. Does Zoom mobile close all other connections? Is this intentional?

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a web socket connection on a mobile device
2. on same device, join a zoom meeting
3. observe that the separate web socket connection is now broken.

**Smartphone (please complete the following information):**

- Device: Iphone 11
- OS: iOS 14.2

Hey @the.lang.mentor,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

I believe this is intentional. Are you able to open a web socket _after_ joining a meeting?

Thanks!  
Michael
