Add Alternative-Host or Co-Host on my Zoom

Issue/Question

I have a Graduate Teaching Assistant and I need him to have access to my D2L Zoom for the course; we both need to have host access

I have a Secretary that I need to have access to my Zoom Meeting

Environment

  • Zoom 
  • D2L 
  • non-D2L

Cause

To be a co-host the other person(s) must have a licensed account also

If they are a licensed Zoom user - you can only add them as co-host during a Zoom meeting

To be an alternative-host the other person(s) must have a licensed account also

Alternative-hosts can be assigned when scheduling the meeting

If they are not a licensed Zoom user - you will need to have their account updated to licensed and then you will be able to add them as co-host in Zoom

Resolution

Note: Alternative host can start the meeting using the Join Link in the email or calendar invite sent to them by the host
Note: The meeting will NOT display in the upcoming meeting list in the desktop client or mobile app for alternative hosts

Note: Zoom alternative hosts must have licensed USD Zoom accounts

  1. Open usd.zoom.us in Firefox
  2. Add the user's email to the Alternative Hosts box
  3.  Please contact the Service Desk with the following information: 
    1. Other co-host or alternative-host name/email address
    2. Indicate that they need to be moved to the licensed version of Zoom so you can make them a co-host
