Can an Alternate Host start a custom live stream on a Webinar?

Hi @acenspades 

Interesting.

In Meeting (not Webinar) an Alternative Host cannot start a stream. This is documented here.

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360040324512

But the equivalent page for Webinar does not specify details for Alternative Host at all.

I'm guessing it is the same - so the answer would be no to streaming.

For Promoting:

In Webinar normally even Co-Hosts can Promote attendee to panelists - so I think at least the same would apply to Alternative Host.

You can pre-invite your panelists when you schedule the Webinar.

Good afternoon,

The alternate host would be able to do both promote any attendee to a panelist and be able to start the live stream if the following are completed prior to the Webinar being created.

1. Alternate host must be a licensed user 

2. Alternate host is delegated on the Alternate Host field when creating the Webinar.

Alternate Hosts actually have the same authority of the original host.  They are considered the main host of the meeting and the co-host features/functionalities do not apply.

If you, host of the webinar, will not be present during the webinar your alternative host will be the host actually.

And he will be able to stard the live stream.

In a webinar host and also co-hosts can promote attendees.
