What are the options for having somebody else host or co-host a meeting if the host is incapacitated at short notice before the meeting starts?

Thank you in advance

Thanks. In the end I had to configure it so they could bypass the waiting room and then enter the host key which came out of your second suggestion

You can have several options:

 

1.) Add alternative host (must be done by the host or a Zoom admin before the meeting starts)

2.) Allow users to join before host (must be enabled by the host or a Zoom admin before the meeting starts

     a.) If no host is required, leave as-is

     b.) If a host is required, a user who is given the host's Host Key can claim the host role manually in-meeting
