Add alternative hosts so that any meeting can be started and hosted without the account holder being present.
To allow others to host video calls in your absence or automatically become co-hosts:
-
Ensure that all users are under your main Zoom account.
-
Make sure all users have paid/licensed Zoom accounts.
-
All users will have the ability to host any video call.
To add alternative hosts in WeTeachMe:
-
Go to 'Add-Ons' in your WeTeachMe Dashboard's left menu.
-
Click on 'Online Classes' and select 'Configure'.
-
Add the alternative hosts' email addresses in the provided section, separating them with commas.
Disable Default Zoom Email Notification for Alternative Hosts
You can login to your Zoom account, go to https://zoom.us/account/setting, following the screenshot below to disable the default Zoom email notification.
Once you have designated alternative host(s), they will have the ability to start and host any meeting. If your alternative host(s) have user permissions in your WeTeachMe dashboard, they can initiate the meeting from 'Class Lists' or 'Listing Dates' after the first reminder email has been sent (default: 1 day before the class starts). They can access the video call link by going to Class List, selecting More Actions, choosing Share Video Call Link, and opening the link in the pop-up window.
If the alternative host doesn't have access permissions for the WeTeachMe dashboard, you can set them up to receive class reminder emails. Go to 'Listings', select the desired listing, navigate to 'Advanced Settings', and customize the class reminders. By default, reminders are sent 1 day and 1 hour before the class starts.
