Alternative Hosts

Hello, I am trying to add an alternative host to host a meeting while I am away. However, even after toggling on the host-co-host settings in Zoom Events, I am still not able to add them. Does the email address have to be associated with an active user?

Hi @charlieannva can you please confirm if you're referring to Zoom Events alternative hosts and co-hosts or Designating an alternative host to a Zoom Meeting? Both differ in a way 🙂
