Delegating host role to someone outside my "organization"

it took me a long time to understand that you can't just add any Zoom user to the host list.  You can only add a paid (Licensed) user and this user must be added to your  account.

 

I have someone I need to delegate hosting to. She is a paid licensed user so that should be good. But when I go to add her to my account, I learn that her license then becomes part of my "organization" and she gets a refund and I pay her bill.  Is this the only way to do this? Neither she nor I want to be partners - we just have a one-time need for collaboration.

 

How do solopreneurs delegate meeting hosting?

 

Is it possible that I could add her as a Basic user and your system would read that she's a licensed user thereby allowing me to add her as an alternative host?

 

The only solution I see is for me to give her my login, which can't be a good idea for Zoom security.

THIS!!!  I'm a solopreneur as well (and major props for that turn of phrase) and frequently need to delegate someone outside of my organization, since the only people IN my organization are myself and my cats. Zoom needs to really examine how to better serve small solo practitioner businesses.
