Set someone else as a host before a meeting

[KazuT]

How do I assign other people as Hosts before a meeting has started? I tried to add my colleague as an "Alternative Host", but the Zoom website said "____ could not be found":

Hi @KazuT,

The most common reason that Zoom users see the error you mentioned is because the person they are trying to make an alternate host is either not a licenses Zoom user or does not belong to the same account.

The person gave me the email address under which their Zoom account is.

They will need to be a user on the same account as you in order for you to set them up as an Alternate Host.

Can I "add an additional Host" to a meeting? Someone up who isn't on my account but has their own account? There are times I need someone else to host my meetings; it'd be helpful if I can assign them prior to the day of the meeting.

You have two options:
1) Assign an alternative host - this person needs to be a licensed user and part of your account. This can be done prior to the meeting.
2) Assign a Co-host - this is done during a meeting.

Does anyone from Zoom ever reply to these questions...?
