Zoom Bridge Overview

The LF currently provides ?? general use Zoom meeting accounts for the Nexoedge community. Additional Zoom meeting accounts can be requested for the project as the project scales. These shared Zoom accounts are administered by the LF team, but usage is ultimately managed by the Nexoedge community. Please carefully review the following:

  • Wherever and whenever possible Zoom meeting bridges will be distributed across the different Nexoedge accounts with buffers on either side of the scheduled meeting to avoid conflicts 
  • IF YOU ARE A HOST PLEASE LOG OFF OF THAT ZOOM HOST ACCOUNT WHEN YOUR MEETING IS OVER
  • Meeting IDs are good for a specific day and time-slot only
  • DO NOT use an assigned meeting bridge to start a meeting at a different date or time, otherwise you will cause conflicts for other scheduled meetings
  • DO NOT log into a different meeting using the same Host account, otherwise you will cause conflicts for other scheduled meetings


Zoom Bridge Errors 

  • If you receive the error, "The meeting host is attending another meeting" or similar message: 

    • A previous meeting using that Host account is still in progress and did not end as scheduled 

    • The Host forgot to end the Zoom session and someone is still connected to the bridge

    • Someone has used that Host account to start a meeting outside of the assigned time-slot

    • Someone is using that Host account to attend another Host's meeting in progress

  • If you cannot get into your meeting because the host Zoom account is in use: 
    • Send an email to ?? indicating that you are having an issue with a specific meeting Host
    • The email will be distributed to the complete list of alternate users that have Host privileges for Nexoedge Zoom accounts/bridges
    • The LF is not responsible for intervening or setting up an emergency bridge in the event of an Nexoedge Zoom bridge conflict, however will assist if when possible
