How to run meeting in the absence of account holder?

Hello,

I am a subscribed user of Zoom ( Version: 5.16.6 (24664) with a paid-for single licence.   I use my account to run a small meeting for a community group.   As I am the account holder, is there any way I can temporarily pass the admin rights to another user when I am not available to run these meetings?   

 

Thank you,

Shane

Hi @shanemm ! Do you have another licensed user on your account? If so, you could designate them as an alternative host.
