Co-Hosts

Allows someone else to manage the administrative side of the meeting, such as muting participants or starting/stopping the recording.

• Co-hosts should be assigned during the meeting.

• There is no limitation on the number of co-hosts you can have in a meeting.

• Co-host will automatically be the host if the host gets disconnected.

Co-hosts do not have access to the following controls as they are only available as host controls in a meeting:

• Start 

  Start closed captioning

   and

   and assign someone or a third-party to provide closed captioning

• Start live streaming

• End meeting for all participants

• Make another participant a co-host

• Start 

  Start breakout rooms

   or

   or move participants from one breakout room to another

• Start 

  Start waiting room (co-hosts can place participants in waiting room or admit/remove participants from the waiting room)

Co-hosts also cannot start a meeting. If a host needs someone else to be able to start the meeting, they can assign an alternative host. 

Alternative host

Allows you to schedule meetings and designate another NUS Zoom Licensed user to start the meeting if Host who schedules is not able to start the meeting.

• There is no need to schedule someone who will be Co-Host as Alternative Host. Make them co-hosts in the meeting itself.

• The meeting will still belong under the Host who schedules account.
  You will not be able to start another concurrent meeting, since Zoom allows each account to only start one meeting at a time.

• Alternative Host will need to have an NUS Zoom Licensed account. Not for external or Basic account.

• Alternative Host will receive an email notifying them that they've been added as an Alternative Host, with a link to start the meeting.

• Alternative Host will need to use the Start Meeting button/link in the email.
  If they cannot find it in the mailbox, search for "invites you to join a Zoom

• NEW: Alternative Host(s) can be allowed to add/edit polls. 

• For webinars, the user who schedules the meeting needs both a license and the webinar add-on; the alternative host only needs to be Licensed (webinar add-on not required).

Scheduling privilege 

Designed to be used when someone else will do the scheduling; like an Executive Admin, Event Scheduler or Secretarial Duties:

• The Meeting HOST should first assign or grant Scheduler permission to schedule meetings.

• Scheduler to create new meeting on behalf of Meeting HOST.

• The Meeting HOST will not have access to Polling feature.
