Question

Owner vs host

I am an account admin. When the previous “owner” left, I added the new owner/s name and email address.  I was able to keep all the same meeting schedules and the meeting link.  However, when the new owner clicks the meeting link, it shows me as the host, not the “owner”. How do I change this?

    Hello ​@Barbara Henise,

    Welcome to the Zoom Community! We’re glad to have you here!
     

    Transferring account ownership in Zoom does not automatically make the new owner the host of existing meetings. To have the new owner appear as the host for those meetings, you have two main options:

    • Add the new owner as an alternative host to the meetings.
    • Use scheduling privileges so the new owner can schedule meetings on your behalf, or you can reassign meetings using the “Schedule For” option.

    This will allow the new owner to start and manage the meetings as host.
