Hi, It seems it is not possible to host multiple meetings for a user at the same time based on below document. > **[Can I host concurrent meetings?](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206122046-Can-I-Host-Concurrent-Meetings-)** > > Basic users and Licensed users on a Pro account are limited to hosting only 1 meeting at a time.  > Licensed users on Business, Education, and Enterprise accounts can host up to 2 meetings at the sam... We are creating instant meetings and after creating first instant meeting. Even we leave first meeting and try to create another instant meeting we cannot. As a work around, one user can join multiple meetings same time based on this > **[Joining different meetings simultaneously](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360001120743-Join-Multiple-Meetings-Simultaneously-on-Desktop)** > > The feature to join different meetings or webinars simultaneously from the Zoom desktop client allows participants to participate in or monitor multiple meetings or webinars at the same time. This ... I couldn’t find on the portal above setting. I logged in to portal as “ADMIN” privilege but this setting is not there. Can you help? ---

Hi [okan](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/okan), Thanks for the post. Are you looking for the setting “Join Multiple Meetings Simultaneously on Desktop”?

Hi [okan](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/join-different-meetings-simultaneously-on-desktop/8755/3), Thanks for the reply. It is strange that your account does not have this option.

Just sharing that setting is also not appearing for me either (the setting to allow simultaneous meetings on same machine)…a work around seems to be to use incognito tabs in browser but would like to use client if this can be addressed that would be great. D ---

Was anyone able to solve the issues of the missing button (simultaneous meetings on the same account)? I’ve tried calling support but the wait is long at the moment and this setting is not appearing on my account either. Thanks! ---

I just signed up for zoom today in order to get this setting and I was not able to find it either. As a regular user off the street I don’t expect this to get much attention but just saying this issue seems more pervasive than per acount. ---
