Prevent speakers from starting webinar

Hello

I'm a newbie with Zoom seminars and am trying to set one up.  All good so far, except that when I invite myself using an alternative email address as a speaker to test things, the link to 'Join' the event takes me to the Backstage (with "Off Air").  That's good, but when I do that, I see the "Start Webinar" at the top.  

 

How can I stop other speakers from starting the event (when that is surely what the host does)?

I am mindful that I've been using the same Zoom interface (as the host) but have signed out of it.  

 

Thanking in advance!

Ta

Neil

    Hello Neil,

     

    I encountered the same issue and found a solution. If you haven't resolved it yet, here's what you can do: Go to your session or event, navigate to 'Event Content' and select 'Sessions.' Scroll midway down the page where speakers are listed, each with privileges such as session editor or alternative host. Ensure that 'Alternative Host' is unchecked.

     

    Thanks
