Mtg links were sent but our chair is now ill and can't attend. Can mtg still take place?

[GlenofImaal]

Our club's account is in the chair's name. He already sent the links out for tonight's meeting. Now he is ill and won't be able to attend. Is there a way that this meeting can still take place without him being present?

If the meeting was set up with the "Allow participants to join anytime" (See https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/202828525-Allow-participants-to-join-before-host for details and instructions) then you're good to go. If not, the host could also assign other users on the account (if available) as Alternative Hosts who can also start the meeting. 

(For added security, recommend that the host use a passcode and/or require users to sign in to Zoom.)
