Thanks so much for this video. I was searching and googling trying to find the terminology for what I would like to do. Ideally I want people in my non profit group to be able to host the meetings so I don't have to be at everyone. However I don't want them to be able to make certain changes for example "change my plan" as it is my email that is tied to this account. Question: So if I add them as a alternative host and put in their email address I assume they will be prompted for a password when they sign in? How is that password assigned? as I don't want to mine to them. Thanks in advance and thanks again Ed.
Hi Ed. So sorry for the delayed response. To be able to add someone as an alternative host they would have to have their own Zoom account in you organization's Zoom account. They would not have access to your plan or your account.
Hi! Tank You for explanation. I have a few Question about the privacy of zoom. First I understood that when u crate license account in zoom you can add co-host and alternative host. Then if I gave them the same license account as me for both of them how they can secure safely my account? I think they have the same access us me and they can also mange my setting detail? Thank you, am witting your answer.
Thank you very much for this video.. Can a co-host push the button ‘Close All Rooms’? If yes, can we disable it somehow? We are going to organize a zoom meeting with around 1000 participants and 40 co-hosts. This with 13 break-out rooms. The participants need to decide by themselves which room they want to join.
In looking at Zoom documentation, it looks like both the host and cohost can assign, start, and end breakout rooms. I went though our settings and couldn’t find an area to disable this.
hey i have a question , me and a friend started a meeting together i bought an account he bought an account . he has me licenced in his account . why cant i start the same meeting from my own account ? also i cannot believe zoom will not give me live help .. even after paying the 150 dollars they said my account doesnt come with live help .. what a bunch of hmmmm
Thanks for the video. I have three question. How would we add a licensed user to the same account? When they log into the account do they use the same email address and password as the existing account? Do they have access to the meeting ID that we always use? Thanks
Thanks! In the admin portal you can add users with your organizations domain. Yes, you can add them to your organization using the email address they currently use as long as it’s within your organization I believe. Yes, they should have access to the meeting IDs you currently use.
They cannot end the meeting as a co-host. The host would have to transfer host controls to the co-host before leaving so they are able to end the meeting for all participants.
I have made several people alternate hosts. They don't end up being able to run a meeting when I'm not there. They don't have a security tab. Only I have it. Do they have to sign in on an email that says they are alternative host with the link? Can they just open the link all members get? I use recurring meeting. Is that a problem too?
what is the function / use of adding a user? can a the added user to act as an alternative host? Please explain. Your video is very clear and highly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you for the very good explanation of creating an alternative host. Did not know that was possible. How do I include such people in my account management section?
Good morning! A few questions. If you are doing a Zoom webinar, can you add a co-host if it is activated in your account? Mine is currently not set up for co-hosts - I would only use this for webinars. I am an admin and I am assuming since I do meetings on behalf of my manager, his account settings would need to change for him to be able to add a co-host to a regular Zoom meeting - can an Alternative Host (AH) add a co-host? And I am assuming that if a host had to leave the meeting and designated a co-host the webinar or Zoom would not close. I designated 2 AHs to a Zoom webinar under my account and neither participant received an AH invitation - the panelists did receive a Panelist invite. There is an option to send an invitation to AHs, and I did that (multiple times) but, again, they did not receive invitations of any kind. I removed them as AHs and designated them as Panelists and they received an invitation almost immediately. Also if I set up an AH for a regular meeting on behalf of my manager and the manager left the meeting and the meeting suddenly ended, is it because the AH is not logged in as an AH? I was in the meeting when this happened but I am not listed as an AH - I set up the meetings on behalf of my manager. I am not sure what happened. Leave vs End could have been a problem too but I would appreciate an answer to that question!
At times when I assign Alt Host those individuals are not able to start the meeting, yes they have an account. I create meetings all the time and this happens here and there I don't know how to resolve it. Any ideas? Thank you.
Once you add someone as an alternative host does that meeting show up for them on their list of meetings? Can they start it from their dashboard or it has to be from the email they get?
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech if the host and the co host shares the same account accidentally, do their private msgs to diffrent people shows up? Can they see each other private messages from diffrent people?
Say you have two meetings scheduled back to back and you are running late on the first one, can an alternative host go ahead and open the next meeting while I as host am still finishing up the last meeting? Or will Zoom prevent the opening of the next meeting while the last one is still in progress? Thanks.
Honestly, I’m not sure 🤷🏻♂️ I’ve read support pages where it calls them an “alternative host” and then “alternative hosts” and that came from Zoom itself so I would assume more than one but I’m not 100% sure. Sorry I don’t have a definitive answer.
Regarding an Alternative Host - when they receive the email to host and they click on the link to start the meeting, is there a passcode or can they just start the meeting on behalf of the original Host w/o one?
What type of plan allows me to have alternative hosts? Does the alternatively host have to have a paid subscription too? Can the alternative hosts use their own accounts ot I have to create one for them? I've been looking for information about multiple users in one account, but there's no much information. If you could answer my question, I would be grateful.
This is informative but I am wondering, Is it possible to set up zoom meetings for others in the company without starting the meeting and also without making them an alternate host?
No I don’t believe so. I believe it will only work if you have the licensed account and both the host and alternative host are part of the same licensed group.

Thanks for your info!!! I wandering how to make a colorful/emojis pamphlet?
Have Qs: How can I add an alternate host to an EXISTING meeting series? Thx for the great explanation on this vid.
If it is a reoccurring meeting, then you would have to edit all occurrences and then you should have to option to add an alternative host.
How do you add an alternative host without erasing their own zoom account?

Just the meeting you have assigned them to.

Thank you for this video! Very helpful explanation.
is this feature available in the pro individual account or only in business accounts?
Unable to assign "email adress" as an alternative host because the user cannot be selected at this time
So now what to do
Hello! Thank you for the your video! In a meeting, the Host creates a Co-host. Can the Host leave the meeting and have the Co-host end the meeting?
They cannot end the meeting as a co-host. The host would have to transfer host controls to the co-host before leaving so they are able to end the meeting for all participants.
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech You're awesome! Thank you!
Can an alternate host start a recording for a meeting? Having some trouble with this.
hi, can all of my alternative hosts have a meeting at the same time? for example 3 hosts for 3 individual meeting?
Hello, if you created a Zoom account already and afterwards would like to set up an Alternative Host is that allowed?
There is no co host option and poll option
I have made several people alternate hosts. They don't end up being able to run a meeting when I'm not there. They don't have a security tab. Only I have it.

How do you add Alternate Hosts to your account? This is not fully explained.
what is the function / use of adding a user? can a the added user to act as an alternative host? Please explain. Your video is very clear and highly appreciated. Thank you.
Yes! When you add users to your organization, they can be added as an alternative host and/or a co-host.
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech Thank you.
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech Thank you.
Thank you for this!
Thank you for the very good explanation of creating an alternative host. Did not know that was possible. How do I include such people in my account management section?
Thank you! If you have access to the Zoom admin panel, under user management is where you can add people to your organization.
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech Do these people have to have their own paid account?
They would need be part of your organization’s paid account.

Good morning! How to know who among the zoom host and co/host remove a participants?
At times when I assign Alt Host those individuals are not able to start the meeting, yes they have an account. I create meetings all the time and this happens here and there I don't know how to resolve it. Any ideas? Thank you.
That’s strange. Sorry not sure why this is happening. 🫤
Figured it out, they were not using the new link for alt host.
How do I create a separate room
Are you referring to Breakout Rooms? It is a setting in your Zoom settings that you would want to enable before you start your meeting.
Once you add someone as an alternative host does that meeting show up for them on their list of meetings? Can they start it from their dashboard or it has to be from the email they get?
From my understanding, it will not show up on their list of meetings and they have to start it from the email they receive.
Question. Why can't two people share the host position?
You can during a meeting by making them a co-host.
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech if the host and the co host shares the same account accidentally, do their private msgs to diffrent people shows up? Can they see each other private messages from diffrent people?
I’m not sure. Sorry 😕

Or will Zoom prevent the opening of the next meeting while the last one is still in progress? Thanks.
I believe you would have to transfer ownership to the co-host before you left the meeting to be able to start the next meeting.
Hi there, thanks for the video. How many alternative host we can have per zoom account?
Honestly, I’m not sure 🤷🏻♂️ I’ve read support pages where it calls them an “alternative host” and then “alternative hosts” and that came from Zoom itself so I would assume more than one but I’m not 100% sure. Sorry I don’t have a definitive answer.
Does the alternative host have to have a paid subscription also in order to accept and start the meeting for the host?
AFAIK, they need to be part of your organization’s Zoom subscription.
Thank you for the video! Just one question: the person I would like to make a co-host is not in the paid version. Is it possible though? Thanks.
You can only add a cohost if they are in your district account.
Regarding an Alternative Host - when they receive the email to host and they click on the link to start the meeting, is there a passcode or can they just start the meeting on behalf of the original Host w/o one?
To my understanding, they click the link in the email and can begin the meeting on behalf of the original host.
Does the alternative host have to be a person who has a pay member account?
Yes they have to be part of your organization’s membership.
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech Any way around that. Can a non-organization zoom account have an alternate?
Not that I am aware of.
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech Dang. Thanks anyways
do i have to have a paid membership to enable co-hosting?
I believe co-hosting is available for both free and paid accounts. Adding an alternative host requires a paid account.
What type of plan allows me to have alternative hosts? Does the alternatively host have to have a paid subscription too? Can the alternative hosts use their own accounts ot I have to create one for them?
I've been looking for information about multiple users in one account, but there's no much information. If you could answer my question, I would be grateful.
To have the ability to have an alternative host, you and the alternative host need to be licensed on the same account.
@@TakingaByteOutofEdTech So the key word is licensed on the same account - so you have to pay for that additional license correct?
Correct. We have a district license that pays for X amount of licenses that we can add.
This is informative but I am wondering, Is it possible to set up zoom meetings for others in the company without starting the meeting and also without making them an alternate host?
I think the only way you can setup a meeting where someone else can start it is by making them an Alternative Host.
Now, co-host can’t be assigned in the meeting in basic?
Correct. From my understanding, co-host is an option for licensed accounts.
Is the Claim Host Key method basically the same as Alternative Host?
Yes I believe so.
Hi, Can I add anyone as an alternative host? Where do I enter thier email within my account so I can designate them?
As far as I know, you can only add alternative host if they are part of your organization.
can you have more then one co-host after meeting has started?
Yes!
The person who is to be the alternate host is not allowed How do I add them.
The person you want to add has to me part of your organization’s Zoom plan.
Adding a co-host or alternative host will that work on a free Zoom account? Thanks!
No I don’t believe so. I believe it will only work if you have the licensed account and both the host and alternative host are part of the same licensed group.
Why can i not find the setting for the co-host and i am on mobile
The ability to add an alternative host is available with licensed accounts. I have not tried to access this feature on mobile.
I don't have that on my screen
hello
There are 1000 users
Can you create 2 co-host groups and manage 500 and 500 users?
What you could do is split the group into two breakout room and have each host manage each room.
Can an alternative host schedule a meeting?
Yes. They owner of the meeting would have to schedule it but then the alternative host could start the meeting.
It's not there
