Scheduling privilege and alternative hosts in Zoom App
Account owners and admins will be able to enable the alternative hosts feature at the account level, giving users the ability to assign scheduling functions to other users who belong to the same organization. As a result of these features, teams that schedule meetings with each other can be more productive and flexible in how they schedule their meetings.
Account owners and administrators are able to assign the roles to other account users as long as they all have a master/sub account configuration. They must also link the master and sub accounts in the Account Profile page in order to see this setting at the account level.
