No Way to add a "cohost" to a scheduled meeting

Hello Zoom Community - I host a zoom meeting account and under "options" it never allows me to add co-hosts. No matter what email I put it - this is the message I get.

    Hi @nwdsongs 

     

    There is no way to assign a co-host outside of a meeting. That is only something that can be done within a live meeting. 

    Assigning someone as alternative-host will likely make them a co-host in the meeting if you still plan on attending, but an alternative host must be a licensed user on your same account. Read more about alternative hosts here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/208220166-Designating-an-alternative-host

     

    Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

    Why?!  This used to be an option when scheduling.  We need more than one person who can mangage conversations and monitor the waiting room, Alternative hosts cannot do that.  Please bring back adding a co-host when scheduling a meeting.  I am running around making sure the equipment works and we have all the presentations in the right place, etc.  i don't have time to be checking to see if someone is logged in yet so I can manually add them as a co-host.
