HI there - I set up meetings on behalf of my boss but occasionally if I open the meeting link before she does the host defaults to myself. Why does zoom do that and how can I stop it? This is particularly annoying when there is a waiting room enabled as I have to admit waiting attendees including my boss!
I think you are misunderstanding what I am asking... the meeting should be hosted by my boss - I have set it up on her behalf in her name but when I went into the meeting (and I was the first person to open the meeting) it automatically made me host. It should have made my boss host as it was her meeting. My question is why did that happen? Thank you for your help - I appreciate you perservering
It's possible that your boss gave you her scheduling privilege which will make you an alternative host automatically for all of her scheduled meetings. So basically if you are an alternative host, and you are the first to enter the meeting you will become the host.

As for your question 'Why did that happen', reaching out the Zoom customer support through email or chat can easily confirm that, they do have the option to really check the meeting, roles etc.

I really wish I can accurately confirm your question but that's impossible without providing screenshots and more information that might be too personal for you to share on this platform which is why I encourage you to directly reach Zoom customer support.
