Can you please repost the info from within the Zoom meeting? It's once more telling me you have another meeting in progress.

I’m getting a message saying the host has another meeting in progress. I put in the ID and passcode that was listed for today’s meeting so not sure what the issue is

It says to please wait until the host starts the meeting. There is a further option, though, called host anmeldung (application?) -- do I have to do that?

Ah--it seems to be working now! It knows you've joined the meeting.

PhyllisV · Post by **PhyllisV** » August 7th, 2023, 9:05 am

I got a message that the host has joined, but I’m not able to enter. Is it just me?

So I closed down Zoom, then reopened, and everyone was able to get in. Recorded meeting is being saved now. Good to see you all.

Here we go again, where the 1st Monday falls on a holiday. This time it's September 4th, Labor Day, and I wonder who will be busy and if we should postpone our Zoom session to Tuesday, September 5th, or maybe the 2nd Monday, September 11.

Let me hear from everyone what works best for you. I'm available whenever.

Sep 4 should be ok for me.

loon · Post by **loon** » August 28th, 2023, 11:43 am

One vote for 'whenever'.

Post by **philchenevert** » August 28th, 2023, 11:53 am

Monday, Sept 4th. gets my vote.

No guarantees on my end (that's the week before I leave to fly back to India), but I'm more likely to be able to come on Labor Day.
