I'm trying to set a zoom contact as Alternative Host. After adding the person to my (zoom) contacts and they accept, why cant I add them as an Alternative Host when scheduling a meeting? This person is not on my zoom account but has a free zoom account.
Solved! Go to Solution.

It was my understanding that to be an alternative Host one must be on the same account AND have a paid account.

Yes - the Alternative Host must be a licensed user on the same Zoom account - at in https://zoom.us/account/user#/
A "contact" may be something else - I am not sure...

Thank you for the two links, they are very informative.
Contacts are different than Alternative Host:

Hi,
Can the alternate host be someone who has a different licensed zoom account?
Thank you

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @Hazel-Volk.
No. The requirements are that both user logins (session owner and potential Alt Host) must be licensed and on the same account – the same owner.
