If the meeting has been started by the alternative host, can we the organizer get a notification?

Hello,

In some of our meetings, we’ve set it up so the alternative host can start the meeting without our onsite support. If any issues come up, we’ll join as a co-host to assist.

However, we’ve noticed that when we as the organizers are about to join, Zoom still shows the “Start” option, even if the meeting has already been started by the alternative host. In the Workplace app, the notification also says the meeting is “20 minutes past the scheduled time, please start it,” which can be confusing if another team member doesn’t realize the meeting is already running.

It would be much clearer if the notification popped up as something like:

• “The alternative host has started the meeting. Join?”
  or

• Simply changing the “Start” button to “Join” once the meeting has already been started by the alternative host.

This small adjustment would help avoid confusion for our team.

Thank you!

Hi Raffy,

Thank you for your reply. 

No issues with the alternative host starting the meeting. It’s just the reminder/notification pop-up that’s a bit confusing.
