Re: Zoom Collaboration

Someone doesn't like us talking about nukes? Perhaps we got distracted. Could we refocus on the nuclear engine for the ship?

Re: Zoom Collaboration

Well, I was talking about nuclear propulsion and the developmental issues with the nuclear lightbulb, and then we somehow went off on a tangent about other stuff.

Re: Zoom Collaboration

Tom, you have two sessons connected at the same time. One for yourself, the other for the NewMars placeholder. But you and the placeholder swapped places. So if you got kicked, GW Johnson would become the host. Perhaps he's there alone. He may have to disconnect.

But why can't we join GW?

Re: Zoom Collaboration

OK ... now I'm getting:

Please wait for the host to start this meeting.

I have no idea what happened or what to do about it.

Re: Zoom Collaboration

Still getting "The host has another meeting in progress."

Tom, could you close Zoom on both your computers? Let them sit for a minute or so, then restart the session.

Re: Zoom Collaboration

I can't. It still says "The host has another meeting in progress." Is GW still in the meeting alone?

Re: Zoom Collaboration

GW became the host of the meeting because tahanson43206's internet connection was interrupted?

Re: Zoom Collaboration

We could try connecting to the audio only line using our cell phones.

Re: Zoom Collaboration

OK... I just sent an email to GW Johnson.
Hopefully he'll receive it.
Or perhaps he will check the NewMars Zoom topic.

Re: Zoom Collaboration

Before you logged in this evening, RobertDyck, kbd512 had already agreed to host the evening Zooms.

Let's try that next week.

I'm intending to begin working on enlisting participants for the early (European) Zoom.

Re: Zoom Collaboration

I tried via audio line, and tried translating the passcode to numbers using telephone keypad letters, and entering that as a host key. It said host key is invalid.

Re: Zoom Collaboration

OK ... I'll try to set up again.  The computer has been off for a while.

It'll take a few minutes ... I'll try to have it back by 22:33 my time

Re: Zoom Collaboration

I wonder if James Burk is using Zoom for another meeting. Does the Mars Society account have a limited number of concurrent meetings?

Re: Zoom Collaboration

I started from cold boot.  The system asks if I am the host (if so log in)
I attempted to log in ... Zoom says

The host has another meeting in progress

I'll ask SpaceNut to contact Executive Director James Burk to see if he can clear the system.

I suspect the problem is at Zoom itself.
