Hi, 

 

If I want to make a colleague a co-host during a webinar, does this colleague need a webinar licence? 

 

Thanks. 

 

Josephine

    Hey Josephine,

     

    Thanks for the question! Your webinar co-host, will not require a webinar license. Keep in mind, the co-host can only be assigned once the webinar has started. More info on webinar roles below:

    I do need to make someone else host or co-host for a regular meeting next week when I cannot attend myself. If I cannot make him co-host before the meeting starts, so he can run the meeting,  how can I do that please? I do not wish to have to cancel the whole meeting for everyone.

    Oops! Does this refer to ZOOM Meeting or Webinar? I'm referring to ZOOM Meeting.

    @PaulS Co-hosts cannot be assigned before a meeting. Only during.

    What you'll need is to assign a alternative host. Steps to do this on your Zoom meeting are found below.

    Please note: 

    • Zoom desktop client for Windows, macOS, or Linux: Global minimum version or higher
    • Zoom mobile app for Android or iOS: Global minimum version or higher
    • Both users need to be Licensed and on the same account
    • Alternative hosts must be signed in to Zoom with the correct account in order to be granted the host or co-host permissions
