Starting a Zoom Meeting as an Alternative Host

When scheduling a meeting, the host can designate another Licensed user on the same account to be the alternative host. The alternative host can start the meeting on the host's behalf. This user will receive an email notifying them that they've been added as an alternative host, with a link to start the meeting.  (from Alternative host - Zoom Help Center)

To start a Zoom meeting or Webinar that you have been invited to as an alternative host, click the Start Meeting button in the email invitation you received from the host.
