Is there a way that I can know before starting a meeting that my account is active on another meeting.  
For example if I am in a meeting in desktop, before starting a new meeting on a device I can get some kind of indication that my account is already in a meeting. Right now the only way to figure out that is to start a new meeting on a device then there is an alert warning stating ‘you have another meeting going’.

Hi @testapp12345321, thanks for using the dev forum.

If there is an ongoing meeting that must be closed before you can join a meeting, the [`onMeetingNeedColseOtherMeeting`](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/meeting/android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingServiceListener.html#onMeetingNeedColseOtherMeeting-us.zoom.sdk.InMeetingEventHandler-) callback will be triggered.

Alternatively, I believe there is an API endpoint that would allow you to query this. For more information on that approach, please see our [API docs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/introduction). If you require any additional assistance with the REST API, feel free to post to #api-and-webhooks and one of my colleagues well-versed in our APIs will be happy to help on that front. 🙂

Thanks!

Thank you very much for Jon, I have been able to trigger the callback of onMeetingNeedCloseOtherMeeting but to trigger the callback I have to start the meeting. I am looking for a way to know if there is a to find out if the zoom account is already active in any meeting before starting a meeting.

Hi @testapp12345321,

Unfortunately, that callback is the closest thing the SDK has to what you are looking for that I am aware of. If that does not meet your requirements, I would recommend checking out our REST API for alternatives. The links provided in my previous reply should offer all of the resources you need to begin exploring that option. 🙂

Thanks!
