Starting a meeting by another person

[Ernie_S]

I have a Pro-level account and host a weekly meeting. In a few days, I will be unable to be present to start and end the meeting. I have read the online documentation about assigning a co-host but find it confusing. Is there a way for me to assign someone in the meeting the credentials to start and end the meeting, and also turn on screen sharing?

Hi,
You need to set them up as an alternative host before the meeting starts....basically what you will have to do is open the scheduled meeting in your calendar app like Outlook, then go into the settings or advanced options section, and appoint that person as an alternate host there.
