I have a basic free account. I need to arrange a Zoom for two people but do not want to be a participant. Every time I have done this in the past I have to be there to let people in and cannot continue the meeting unless I stay on the call. Please advise.

The "Allow Participants to Join Before Host" feature will do what you're asking.

If you can't access this with a basic/free account, you'll need to get a paid account.
