Setting Up Quizzes as an Alternative Host

I am preparing a webinar that I would like to include quizzes/polls in. I currently have a licensed account, but I do not have the webinar add on. 

My team lead also has a licensed account, and does have the webinar add on. She has scheduled the webinar, alternative hosts has been enabled,  and she has set me as an alternative host for the webinar in question. 

Per the “Conducting quizzes in webinars” FAQ, I ought to be able to add quizzes/polls to this webinar, however, no where in my account to I appear to have access to this webinar in order to do so following the directions in the afore mentioned FAQ. Specifically, the issue arises with Step 3 “Click the name of the webinar you want to add a poll to”. When I click the Webinar tab in my account, all I get is a advertisement to purchase the webinar add on. 

Should I be able to create polls and quizzes as a licensed user, without the webinar add on, and if so, how to I go about accessing the webinar to do so? Or must you have the webinar add on for both the host and the alternative host’s accounts in order for the alternative host to create quizzes/polls?

    Hi ​@ElliPT and welcome to the community. Can you check with the host to see if they’ve enabled the setting that allows alternative hosts to add or edit quizzes? https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0066403

    They have done all of the following:

    Enabled the setting that allows alternative hosts to edit quizzes on both Webinars and Meeting settings.

    Added me as an alt host and clicked that check box.
