No.


Each Zoom account can only host up to 2 concurrent (or overlapping) meetings at a time. 


If you try to start a third session while the other 2 are happening, you won't be able to start the third session until you end one of the earlier two.


In other words, if you are scheduling Zoom sessions for an event, you can't schedule 3 overlapping sessions under 1 Zoom account. If there are more than two sessions overlapping you would need to schedule the overlapping sessions under other Zoom accounts. 


Alternative hosts do not matter. What matters is whose account the sessions are scheduled under.


Recommendation 1: The best thing to do is create a Zoom session under a different host for each time slot to avoid any overlapping issues where you can't start the sessions.

Recommendation 2: Do not have sessions that extend past the base time slots. This makes scheduling simpler.
