Transferring ownership of a recurring meeting

Can someone please tell me how to transfer ownership of a recurring meeting?  We need someone else to take over the meeting going forward, but we don't want to change the ID and password, since it is widely distributed.  Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

    To use schedule privilege, both users needs to be members of the same account, as well as both be licensed users. If the users are not on the same account, you will need to bring all the users together on the same account, as well as assign them both a license

    Scheduling privilege isn't for just some meetings, it is for all meetings between the 2 users. Once that connection is established, you can edit any meeting and move it to the other user.

    Hi @mndjr 

    The best and easiest way to do this is by using Scheduling Privilege. Once this is established between 2 users, that recurring meeting can be edited, assigned to the other user, and saved. That will change the owner of that meeting and scheduling privilege can be dissolved afterwards. 

     

    Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

    Hi @Bort , 

     

    I've followed all steps for changing the ownership - I think it worked, however, in my calendar the owner of the recurring meeting is still the previous person.  How do I change that?

     

    Many thanks

    How would you do this with Outlook Calendar? I am trying to transfer ownership on the Zoom side but also have it updated on all the user's Calendars in Outlook. 

    -Thanks

    Hi @Adougl9 

     

    Unfortunately, I am not an expert on Outlook and cannot find any info online about how to transfer an Outlook calendar event. Not sure if there is a way to actually accomplish this in Outlook.

    @mndjr ,

     

    Transfer option will show only while deleting your account to transfer meetings and webinars. In place of a transfer webinar, you can assign someone as an alternative host. Alternative host have full permission to run your webinar.

    I've been trying to transfer a recurring meetings from one licensed user to another licensed user in the same account. When I go to Edit the meeting, and select either This Occurrence or All Occurrences, I do not see the "Schedule for" option that's described in the help documents. I have to assume that this only works for meetings that don't have any occurrences in the past? 

    EDIT: The schedule privileges were backwards. I had granted them one way and that wasn't working. When I granted them the other way it worked. I understand it now... it was confusing as I expected to be able to go into the meeting with the admin account and reassign the host. I see now that I had to be in the current host's account and that user has to edit the meeting and schedule for the other user.

    Thanks so much for your comment. I was doing the same thing, trying to use the Schedule for as an administrator. If you hadn't shared this, I'd still be struggling!

    I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question.  I am a complete Zoom novice.
