When scheduling meetings for others using your Zoom account, there can be an error with scheduling meetings occurring at the same time and on the same account. This is a Zoom limitation at this time. Adding Scheduling Privileges will help you schedule meetings for others such as executives, VIP's and others whom you need to schedule meetings for.
For each person that requires you to coordinate a meeting, they must assign you Scheduling Privilege. This will prevent the overbooking of meetings by administrative staff which can cause issues with joining a meeting when concurrent meetings have been scheduled by one account. More details can be found on the Zoom Scheduling Privileges page near the bottom of the support article.
