The alternative host option allows you to schedule meetings and designate another Licensed user on the same account to start the meeting or webinar if you are unable to. This user will receive an email notifying them that they've been added as an alternative host, with a link to start the meeting. The alternative host will need to use the link in the email or have the calendar invite sent to them by the original host and use the join link there. The meeting will not display in the upcoming meetings list in the desktop client or mobile app for alternative hosts.

If a host is attending a meeting but needs assistance with managing the meeting, they can assign a co-host only during the meeting.

1. Sign in to scu.zoom.us and navigate to Meetings.
2. Click the topic of the meeting you would like to add an "Alternate Host" to.
   
3. Click Edit this Meeting.
4. Next to Alternative Hosts, type the email of your alternative host. Note that the alternative host must have a licensed account with SCU.
   
5. Click Save.

The co-host feature allows you to share hosting privileges with another user in a meeting or webinar. This can be useful to allow another user to manage the administrative side of the meeting, such as muting participants or starting/stopping the recording.

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

Using co-host in a meeting:

There are two ways that you can make a user a co-host.

• In the meeting, the host hovers over the user's video, clicks on the three dots and chooses Make Co-Host.
  
  
• Alternatively, the host can make another participant a co-host through the Participants window.
1. Click on Manage Participants in the meeting controls at the bottom of the Zoom window.
   
   
2. Hover over the name of the participant who is going to be a co-host, and choose More.
3. Click Make Co-Host.
   
   

Once a participant has been made a Co-host, they'll have access to the co-host controls.
