How can I change the host of an upcoming meeting?

Hi,

The main account collected the privilege and it can schedule a meeting for other users but cannot change the host of upcoming meetings.
Why is that and how can I achieve this?

I noticed this when I tried to change the host via API.
Ultimate goal is to do this via API but it keeps failing so tried from UI which failed, too.
So I figured it must be some settings or privileges.

Sign in to the Zoom web portal. In the navigation menu, click Meetings, then click Schedule A Meeting. Scroll down to Options and click Show to view additional meeting options. In the Alternative Hosts field, enter the alternative host's email address.

Thanks but i cannot do "schedule for"?

Not being able to change "schedule for" is a false alarm.

I CAN do that.

Just update api for some events fails.

 

I contacted support and it's brought up to the next level of support.

It turned out updating "schedule for" via API works for some events and some not.
