Making another person the host

Hi there,

 

we are a learning group using my account for meetings. However, as I am not always present, I want to make a list of 3 people also the  hosts, so that they can be the host on a day without me having to be there in the beginning to make them co-host and so that they can create breakout rooms. I understand that only hosts can create breakout rooms.

I cannot make sense of the tutorials so I thought I just ask you nice people. 

I am sure this is a problem that many people have, is it? So my question is how does zoom handle it and what are the workarounds.

If you are all under the same organization/instance of Zomm (ex. all have @work.com email addresses) , then when you schedule the meetings you should make them Alternate Hosts.

Thanks,
