Cannot found the alternative hosts setting field with my Basic account

Dear All,

 

I've searching many articles and web and followed those steps, I still can't found that field to set "alternative hosts" unfortunately.  Did anyone have solution/suggestion?

 

Thanks a lot!

John

Although, I didn't see the limitation expressly stated in the prerequisites of alternative hosts, I do not believe that alternative hosts are supported with Basic Accounts. I did test this on one of my basic accounts against one of my paid accounts and have verified that alternative host designation is not visible/available on my basic account.

I am getting a scheduling error saying I need to delete alternative host even though I am using the free version and there is no alternative host field! I had a paid, joint account with one alternative host for work purposes, but then let that expire and my account reverted to free. But now I can't schedule a meeting because I'm supposed to delete an alternative host, even though there's no way to access alternative host options in the free version because they're not supposed to exist!
