Zoom Bridge: The meeting host is attending another meeting
If you receive the error, "The meeting host is attending another meeting" or similar message. Please see the Zoom Bridge Errors section.
Do meetings using private bridge numbers need to be added to the LF AI group calendar?
If the meeting is a community meeting, yes absolutely. The meeting should be added to the appropriate calendar for the list used by the project.
Who can set up a meeting on a group calendar?
Every distribution list will have a "Meeting Moderator(s)". Meeting Moderators have access to create/change/delete meetings from the Groups.io calendar for that distribution list. View the list here.
Who can set up a new Zoom bridge?
Permissions for shared Zoom account management will usually be the same as the Meeting Moderators, found here, for each subgroup (mail list). The list of alternate hosts for shared zoom meeting accounts can be viewed here.
Which Zoom Link is assigned to which subgroup (mail list)?
See the list of alternate hosts for shared zoom meeting accounts here.
What if I want a meeting but there are no Zoom accounts available for that time slot?
If it is for a reoccurring meeting, you will need to email lfai-meetingrequests@lists.lfai.foundation to determine if there will be any new Zoom accounts added to the project soon. If not, you will need to use your own personal meeting account.
If it is for a one-off meeting, you will need to email lfai-meetingrequests@lists.lfai.foundation with your request following the instructions here.
What do #cal-invite and #cal-cancelled mean in the notification emails sent from Groups.io?
