Can you assign an alternate host to a personal conference (i.e. telephone only meeting)?

I know that when creating a standard "video/audio/webcam" meeting through Outlook, you have the opportunity to assign an alternate host so they can start and run the meeting if you can't attend.  If this feature available for "Personal Conferences" or the telephone-only call?  In other words, allowing someone else to start the meeting by using their own Zoom Host Key rather than having to provide them yours (to start the telephone meeting if you can't attend)?

Hi @brvid 

Unfortunately, that is not possible for a Personal Audio Conference. If you scheduled a meeting and will use it as an audio-only meeting, then it would be possible to add an Alt-host, but they will need to join through the web client or desktop client to be recognized as the Alt-host. Being recognized as the Alt-host is not possible over the phone.

Hello brvid

 

Hope everything is well

 

Yes, if your assign someone as a co-host for your meetings they can start the meeting from phone only with their own host keys, no need to share your host key with them

 

You can mark your meeting as "Telephone",  "Computer Audio" or "Both" for the Audio piece of it
