We are an investment club consisting of 15 partners. Our meetings rotate among partners' homes. Can the club purchase one Pro license and have different partners host the meeting but use the same license for the club?

Hi, everyone,
The basic official answer to this is no, one Meeting can’t be shared among many people as Host. There are two capabilities that can help if all the users are on the same account, but I’m guessing this is not the case with your group:
Organizations I’ve worked with have used following approaches to similar situations. While not approved by Zoom, they’re used by some small groups with trusted members:
There are other security issues, and other benefits to each approach. Carefully used and monitored, though, they can work.

Thanks very much for your response, Ray. It was very helpful.

@Peter9 did @Ray_Harwood 's response answer your question? If so, please don't forget to mark it as an accepted solution ✅

@Peter9 – No, you’re probably not confused. I alluded to the fact that some organizations do this, but it’s not approved by Zoom. In general I don’t recommend it, but do occasionally mention it as an option. The danger, of course, is that if it’s your account and your credit card on the account, and someone with your login credentials orders up a bunch of licenses – you’re screwed. Zoom isn’t going to help you recover. Among some trusted members of a very small nonprofit, for example, it can work – but isn’t officially permitted.

I would like to join this I am really interested.

We have a similar type of situation. I would also be very interested in any responses you receive that might be helpful

Ray--I was wondering about doing that but Zoom told me that owner (host) credentials cannot be shared as it against Zoom terms of service. Perhaps I am confused by the terminology of owners &hosts.

I haven’t tried the suggestions yet. How would I mark it as an accepted solution, if it works?

(Thanks, @Bri !)
@SSSBO , there’s should be a little green box near the front of the answer – if you click it, a check mark should appear in the box.
