Yes, you can start a scheduled Zoom meeting early at any time before the scheduled start time; as the host, you have the flexibility to begin the meeting whenever you choose, even if participants haven't joined yet. 

Key points to remember:

• Join before host option:

  To allow participants to join before you, make sure to enable the "Allow participants to join before host" setting when scheduling your meeting. 
• No waiting room needed:

  If you want people to be able to join immediately, disable the waiting room feature. 
• Starting the meeting:

  Simply open the Zoom app and click "Start" on your scheduled meeting to begin early.
