We apologize in advance if you may receive an error message from the system if you attempt to launch a meeting before it is started by the host or if Allow participants to join anytime is disabled for the meeting. In this case, you may receive a message that you need to wait for the host to start the meeting/webinar or a message listing the date and time of the meeting. The host has not yet started the session, so you have successfully connected to Zoom.

Please wait for the Host to Start this Meeting / Webinar

There may be a message on your screen that you are waiting for the host of this meeting to start the meeting or webinar, but that is not necessarily what the message is saying. Generally, if a webinar has not been started by the host or if the webinar is in practice mode and has not yet broadcast, the host has not yet started the webinar.

The meeting or webinar will begin shortly after the host of the meeting or webinar starts the session. You will be notified as soon as the meeting or webinar starts.

You may wish to reach out to the host of the meeting if you think you are receiving this message in error.

I invite you to contact the host as soon as you have questions regarding the date and time of the meeting or webinar.
