Alternative Host limitations

[cjpalermo21]

So - I have a group of friends - we like to get online to do some games and have Zoom running (so it looks/feels more like in-person).

I have a Pro account.

Next week, I won't be able to be at the meetup; but I'd still like them to be able to use my meeting. I'm gleaning that because I'm an individual account, I cannot assign anyone as alternative host. I can set the meeting to start without being manually started and to allow people to join without a waiting room. And, for the most part, that will enable the meeting to go on .... but, if by chance, someone gets in that shouldn't be there (unlikely, but it's happened before) - does *no one* have the ability to boot the interloper?

Is there no workaround to this? You cannot take someone slated to attend the meeting and grant them hosting power before the meeting begins?

You can always share your host key (and ideally change this afterward) - more info here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067063

Other users who join the meeting should be able to claim the host role by using this key.
