Adding a second person to your Zoom as a host can be extremely beneficial, particularly in scenarios where you require assistance in managing the meeting. It doesn’t matter if you are hosting a big webinar or a small team meeting, having an extra host can greatly simplify things for you. In this piece, I will walk you through the steps of adding a second host on Zoom and share some of my own experiences and advice.
Step 1: Sign in to your Zoom account
The first step is to sign in to your Zoom account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can easily create one by going to the Zoom website and following the sign-up process. Once you’re signed in, you’ll be taken to your Zoom dashboard.
Step 2: Accessing the User Management page
Next, you’ll need to navigate to the User Management page. To do this, click on the “User Management” option in the left-hand menu of your Zoom dashboard. This will open up a new page with a list of all the users in your Zoom account.
Step 3: Adding a new user
On the User Management page, click on the “Add User” button, usually located at the top-right corner of the page. This will open a form where you can enter the details of the new user you want to add as a second host.
Step 4: Filling out the user details
In the form, you’ll need to provide the email address, first name, and last name of the new user. You can also set the user’s role to “Licensed” or “Free” depending on your Zoom account type. For a second host, it’s recommended to set the role as “Licensed” to ensure they have all the necessary hosting capabilities.
Step 5: Assigning host privileges
Once you’ve filled out the user details, scroll down to the “Assign Scheduling Privilege” section. Here, you can assign the new user as a host by checking the box next to “Host” under the “Meeting” column. This will give them full hosting privileges, allowing them to start and manage meetings.
Step 6: Saving the changes
Finally, click on the “Save” button to add the new user as a second host on Zoom. The user will receive an email with instructions on how to set up their Zoom account and access their hosting privileges.
