Webinar Setup - External Account User?

Hi ​@AVICC,

Thank you for your contribution to the community. For a standard Zoom Webinar (not OnZoom / not Zoom Events), she can’t add you as an alternative host if you’re on a different Zoom account.

Zoom Webinars requirement:

• Alternative hosts must be licensed users who are members of the host’s Zoom account. If she tries to add an external user, Zoom will show an error like: “...not licensed users or are not members of this account”.

What you can do instead (without getting admin access to their account):

• Ask her to add you as a panelist (you can join early, help run parts of the session, speak/share screen if allowed).
• If she needs you to help with setup while she’s in the webinar, she can also make you a co-host once you join (co-hosting can be assigned during the live webinar by the host/co-hosts).

Hey, ​@AVICC.

One clarifying remark:  Even if you were able to be an Alt Host for the webinar, that wouldn’t give you editing permission to edit a Webinar that you do not own.  (There are ways to do this if you are on the same organizational account, but since that’s not the case, I won’t elaborate except to say: use Scheduling Privilege.)
