Alternative Host

Hello. I am looking for some support with regards to having an "Alternative Host" for an upcoming meeting.  I am the owner of the account/"Licensed User".  I do not have additional Licensed Users on the account.  I have asked a colleague of mine to host a couple of zoom meetings this year on my behalf.  Without paying for additional "User Licenses", is it possible for him to host the meetings just as I do from his remote location without me starting the meeting, on the meeting, logging in & notating him as "co-host", etc?  Thank you so much for your help.

Hi @Hospitality 

 

to use the alternative host option you need 2 users in the same account both with license. All the details are here:

What about options apart from adding more licensed users?

I.e. can I log in, assign a "co-host" and then log-off? 

Yes you can.
