Zoom: Joining Two Zoom Meetings at the Same Time

Joining two Zoom Meetings at the Same Time

The following instructions below explain how you can join two Zoom meetings at the same time. Please note that these instructions are assuming that you have the Zoom desktop application downloaded on your computer.

Note: Although you can share your microphone between both sessions, you can only share your camera video to one of the two Zoom meetings.

Join the First Meeting with the Desktop Application

  1. Navigate to the first Zoom meeting by clicking on the meeting link.
  2. A web browser window will appear with a few Zoom commands to choose from.  To first join through your Zoom application on your computer and with your Zoom account, select Open Zoom Meetings from the popup window that appears. The meeting will begin through the desktop Zoom application.
