Hello,

I've read tutorials, followed directions...cannot get an alternative host to be accepted. The host I would like to use is a user on my subscription.

Hey @RNMission, both users need to be Licensed and on the same account. Have you assigned a Zoom license to yourself and the user you'd like to be the alternative host? Also, Alternative hosts must be signed in to Zoom with the correct account in order to be granted the host or co-host permissions. When creating your Zoom meeting from https://zoom.us/meeting/schedule under Options, you should have the ability to add an alternative host, mind double-checking to see if you're able to?
