Question

Alternative Host

Hello

I want to set up an "alternative" host for a meeting I cannot attend.

 

The instructions say I need to use the Desktop app to assign an Alternative Host.  

I downloaded Zoom to my laptop, but whenever I sign in, the Web version opens.

 

Question  - Do I need the desktop version to add an alternative host?  If so, can someone tell me how to do it. 

 

Following the directions,  I clicked "Home" and then "Schedule" - the instructions said to open "Advanced Options," but I could not find it.  

I welcome any help you can give me!!

Thank you.

Ann

Hi @alporitz, welcome to Zoom Community! No, you do not need to have the desktop version to add alternative host(s). However, the alternative host that you can add needs to be a licensed user and on the same account as you. For prerequisites and steps on how you can designate an alternative host using the desktop or mobile app, kindly refer to https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067027.
