Join Before Host is enabled but not working

Hi @ljmossc77 

Are you using the Personal Meeting (Personal Room) in this account, or a separate meeting?

They have separate settings.

Do you have "Allow participants to join anytime" enabled on the actual meeting, either way?

I have the same issue across multiple Zoom accounts. One paid and two free. Other accounts with the same settings work fine.

I have the same issue.  I also have multiple Zoom Accounts.  All paid.  3 work correctly based on the setting of "Allow users to join before host" but the 4th one always displays "Waiting for host to join".  I have validated the meeting settings and also the personal meeting room and from what I can see, they are correctly set up. 

You're not alone. I manage multiple paid accounts, and I see this problem, but only with one of them. I've set the "Allow to join before host" at both the meeting and account levels, but with the problem account, users still see the "Waiting for host to start", even though the meeting should be available. With that account, we just expect hosts to login and start, but they shouldn't have to.

Like the commenter a few months back, they're all paid accounts, and the settings look okay to me. It's not clear why  the one account doesn't work.

Is there any solution? 
I tried multiple scenarios, but all with the same result: "waiting for host".  It's a bit frustrating

Hi, I've got the same issue. We were able to join the meeting and suddenly today it is asking for the host to accept each participant. 
Has anyone solved the issue?

Hey everyone, I have finally made it work on mine. 
Zoom required to have a security option in PRO accounts. 
Security option to choose is: 

"Only authenticated meeting participants and webinar attendees can join meetings and webinars", I've also added meeting name and company. 
Then, ENABLE waiting room and select all options that make users bypass waiting room.
Do enable:

"Allow participants to join anytime"

"Bypass the passcode when joining meetings from meeting list"

Hope this helps!!
