####   
Why

Sometimes the Agent application will become minimized and is difficult to restore. When a user attempts to launch the app, it errors and will not run because it is already running. Resulting in the “Only one agent can be run at a time” error displayed on the screen…

2. Confirm you are viewing **Processes**, and sort by **Apps**.
  
3. Right-click on **Agent (32 bit)** and select **End Task**.  
*If there is more than one Agent, you will need to repeat the end task for all Agents listed.*
  
4. Wait about **5 seconds**.

### MiCollab Phone Ringing During Zoom Meetings

<details>
<summary>click here to view how to troubleshoot/resolve this error...</summary>

**Why**

MiCollab uses your default audio settings, meaning lowering the volume for MiCollab will also lower the volume for all applications, including Zoom. However, you can prevent calls from ringing through during meetings by adjusting your availability settings.


**Fix: Enable “In a Meeting” Mode**

1. Click on your name and initials in the upper-right corner of the MiCollab application.
2. Select **Settings** from the dropdown menu

![image](media://8b2bb419-1e2e-46ef-b253-45a36f1764d1)

3. Locate the **Availability** section.
  
  
4. Click the down caret (▼) next to "In the Office" and select **In a Meeting** or another appropriate status.


When set to "In a Meeting," incoming calls will automatically be sent to voicemail. If the caller's device has an LED screen that can receive data, it will also display that you are in a meeting.


> ⚠️ Until you manually change your status back to "In the Office," all incoming calls will continue to be routed to voicemail.
