Alternative Host

An Alternative Host is someone who can start your meeting with host privileges. For example, if you are late or unavailable at the time of the event, a colleague with a TechConnect Zoom account can start the meeting or webinar. 

At the time the meeting is scheduled, the host can assign one or more Alternative Hosts; each host must reside in the same institutional TechConnect Zoom account. The Alternative Host must also be signed into the same Zoom account used to create the Alternative Host link. If the accounts do not match, the Alternative Host will enter the meeting as a Guest.

This Zoom article details the steps needed on designating someone as an Alternative Host.
