Hello!  

I normally host a monthly meeting and can not host this month.  How do I allow someone else to host the meeting that I've set up?  If I 'start' the meeting and require everyone to use passwords rather than me 'Admit' them, then can someone else actually conduct the meeting as long as my computer is on?

Hi there,

 

A good solution is to add alternate hosts so that user can start your meeting. Does that work for you ? Please see steps here:

Second part of your question, If you do not want to use waiting room but passcode instead, you will need to turn on this setting and turn off waiting room.
