Hi @kanishkamherath, thanks for using the dev forum.

It is possible to have any number of sessions running at the same time. The only limitation is that you cannot join multiple sessions simultaneously from the same SDK instance, but that doesn’t sound like it would impact your implementation since they would each have their own unique host.

Thanks!

Hi @jon.zoom,

we create/join each session using separate threads. At the time of joining the second session, it returns the 2005 error code. we create separate jwt tokens for each session. Does this function **CreateZoomVideoSDKObj();** returns a unique object ?

Thanks!

Hi @kanishkamherath,

The Video SDK can only be used from the main thread, so using multiple threads on the same machine would not be supported. Additionally, creating multiple instances of the SDK would not be supported.

Thanks!

Thanks @jon.zoom. Any other way to join/create concurrent sessions in the same instance? or any future plans to provide that feature?

Hi @kanishkamherath,

There is no way to join multiple sessions from the same SDK instance and we do not have plans to support this in the future.

Thanks!
