Question

Unable to start zoom meeting via Slack

The Zoom invite sent via slack says 'waiting for the host to start the meeting' though I am a host myself. 
Typing  /zoom and clicking enter in any of the slack channels, should start a zoom meeting and let participants join the given link after the host admits. However, it is not letting the host him/herself join/start the meeting. after sending out the link via slack using /zoom command it says 'waiting for the host to start the meeting',

    this is happening to me as well.  I do rock a few Zoom accounts.  I verified that I am logged into zoom.app as myself and logged into slack as myself.  It also says my name on the meeting alert window, alas I am considered a participant by clicking on the link.  If I go to my zoom.app account, the meeting doesn't exist.  It's GONE ROGUE!  

    Maybe this is a way to create unlimited meetings without paying for multiple licenses!?!?!

    Same problem! What am I missing here? How do you start a Zoom meeting from Slack? It just takes you to the "Waiting for the host to the start meeting" window → https://capture.dropbox.com/0hjZiWReaDu5ePHL
    How does this meeting actually start, that other invites are supposed to join?
