Zoom has emerged as a favored platform for video conferencing, enabling users to organize and participate in meetings from any location. A distinctive feature that sets Zoom apart is the option to nominate alternative hosts for a meeting. This function permits a substitute host to command the meeting in the event the primary host cannot be present or initiate the meeting. In this piece, we will guide you on how to appoint an alternative host in Zoom once the meeting is scheduled.
Step 1: Log in to Your Zoom Account
To add an alternative host to a meeting, you need to log in to your Zoom account. Once you are logged in, click on the “Meetings” tab and select the meeting for which you want to add an alternative host.
Step 2: Click on the “Alternative Hosts” Option
After selecting the meeting, click on the “Edit” button. In the meeting settings, scroll down until you see the “Alternative Hosts” option. Click on it and add the email address of the person who will be the alternative host.
Step 3: Save Changes
Once you have added the email address of the alternative host, click on the “Save” button to save your changes. The alternative host will now receive an email notification that they have been added as an alternative host for the meeting.
Step 4: Start the Meeting
When it’s time for the meeting, the original host can start the meeting as usual. If they are unable to attend or start the meeting, the alternative host can step in and start the meeting on their behalf.
Conclusion
Adding an alternative host in Zoom after scheduling is a simple process that takes just a few minutes. By following these steps, you can ensure that your meetings run smoothly even if the original host is unable to attend or start the meeting.
