Alternative Host Unable to Start Meeting

I attempted to list my boss as the "Alternative Host" so that she could start the meeting without me (the assistant who scheduled it). However, when she joined the meeting, it stated that she must "Wait for host to start the meeting." She used the sa... Show more

I attempted to list my boss as the "Alternative Host" so that she could start the meeting without me (the assistant who scheduled it). However, when she joined the meeting, it stated that she must "Wait for host to start the meeting." She used the same email address I listed for alternative host when she joined, and we both possess the Zoom Business subscription. I am unsure as to why it did not allow her to start the meeting despite being designated as the alternative host.

It would be great if alternate meeting hosts can also receive an email when a meeting participant joins a Zoom meeting first.  Currently, only the host receives this email.  Is this functionality something the Zoom engineers might consider adding to a future release of Zoom Meetings?

Is there an option to resend the Alt-host email and unique link? Our sessions are often scheduled several weeks in advance, and occasionally an Alt-host misplaces or accidentally deletes the email generated at the time of scheduling. It would be helpful to be able to resend.

 

Also, it was previously the case that meetings for which I was designated an Alt-host would show up in 'My Meetings', which made it very easy to log in and start a meeting. Is this something I can fix in settings, or does Zoom no longer provide this option?

Alternative Host

Hi! Is there a way to add an alternative host automatically to every call as they are made without manually entering it in each time?

Does anyone know how does Calendly work with Zoom Alternative Hosts?  We have a paid Zoom corporate subscription where all our users are in one place, and we have a paid Calendly Professional account.  When a user has a new Zoom meeting booked with them via Calendly, the user will then add in an Alternative Host via Zoom to the meeting, but the problem is the Alternative Host cannot start the Zoom meeting via the Zoom link sent through Calendly.  The Alternative Host can start the meeting via the email they received from Zoom that they have been assigned as an Alternative Host and use the email link to start the meeting, but is there a way where the Alternative Host can start the Calendly Zoom meeting directly from the Calendly meeting invite?

I have been trying to record a zoom session for a grad school class, and have had the same error twice now. After recording, it seems like it has downloaded the file correctly. I go to the zoom file and successfully click on the "double click to download" file. When the file converts to the MP4, it looks completely normal, but as soon as I play back the recording, it will only play correctly for the first 5 minutes. It will then freeze and refuse to continue playing for the last ten minutes. I can see that the rest of the recording is there, but it freezes and I cannot get it to continue playing. If you have any ideas, I would really appreciate it, as it has happened twice, and I really don't want to record it again!

 

* Note: I use a macbook
