I've just set up a meeting as host. I'd like to change one of the invitees to be the host now, in advance of the meeting, so that they can start without me. How do I do that?

If the invitee is another licensed user on the same account as yours, they can be designated as an alternative host. The alternative host would then be able to start the meeting on your behalf. They will receive an email notification that they’ve been added as an alternative host, with a link to start the meeting, unless the email notification is disabled in the Zoom web portal.
