Email Alternate Hosts when a Participant Joins First

[jfox1]

It would be great if alternate meeting hosts can also receive an email when a meeting participant joins a Zoom meeting first.  Currently, only the host receives this email.  Is this functionality something the Zoom engineers might consider adding to a future release of Zoom Meetings?

Hello   @jfox1

You are correct, the feature that you are discussing is by current design and the Alt Host will not receive a notification if a participant joins a meeting that they are designated as an Alternative Host on. You can find out more about the feature here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067027

If you are looking to add this functionality within the Zoom platform, I would recommend adding this in the Feature Request section on the Community page here: https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Feature-Requests/idb-p/ZoomFeatureRequests

I hope this helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

Thank you,

Jake

You would want to set up a webhook using Zoom's APIs that sends an email notification to the alternative host each time someone joins a Zoom meeting first. If you are not a developer there is a Zoom app, Salepager, that lets the alternative host receive the same notifications as the host including being notified when a participant joins a meeting before the host.
