Does an alternative host need a large meeting add-on licence?

Hello

We have a user who is licensed with the "Large 500" add-on, who has scheduled a meeting where we expect up to 500 attendees.

That user has designated an alternative host, who is licensed but does not have a large meetings add-on.

If the alternative host starts the meeting, will the participants be limited to 100 since the alternative host does not have the add-on?

Best answer by ChrisO

The meeting size is determined by the host account not the co-host.

Exactly what @ChrisO stated. The Large Meeting license is tied to a user. It can be moved freely between users by the owner\admin of the Zoom account.

Thank you, both. So as long as the meeting was scheduled by a user with the Large Meeting license, it does not matter who starts the meeting?

What if the person who scheduled the meeting has only a capacity of 100 attendees and the alternative host has a large add on?

No, the large meeting license is tied to a user in their account. I would have the person with the large meeting license create the meeting.

So I subscribe to a yearly subscription for ZOOM Pro and hold weekly meetings. I will be on vacation for a couple of weeks and need to assign an Alternate Host to start and run the meetings in my absence. I understand I will need to purchase an Alternate Host License but can I purchase on for just the month that I'm away? Thank you.
