    hi ​@MWeiker ,

    You need to be the host of the meeting and to have shcedueld it to add an alt host.

    The only exception to this is if you have schedeule privalages to that account, in which case you will be to be licences and part of the same domain account.

    Or if you are in possesion of the host key, and the option to join the meeting before the host and then use the host key to take control.

    Please like and mark as the solution if this helps

    All the best

    You can't, the host would need to do that, unless you are a scheduling delegate for the host.
