Allowing Zoom Events alternative hosts and co-hosts

Account owners and admins can manage Zoom Events settings in one place, using the Zoom Events tab in the Zoom web portal. In the web portal, they can manage their chat and alternative host/co-host settings directly. This gives Zoom account admins full control of these two settings if they need to enable or disable those settings for their users.

When admins allow hosts to have alternative hosts and co-hosts for their Zoom Events sessions, hosts can create sessions for their Zoom Events and invite people to be alternative hosts for these sessions. These alternative hosts can enter Zoom Events sessions with the same in-meeting controls as the host.
