If an alternative host is designated for a meeting, the meeting will still follow the original host's limitations or add-ons.If a host is attending a meeting but needs assistance with managing the meeting, they can assign a co-host during the meeting instead of an alternative host. Alternative hosts can only be assigned during scheduling or before the scheduled start time.If the original host retakes host control, the alternative-host is demoted to a participant. If the original host joins after the alternative host, the original host is given the option to reclaim host-control of the meeting, or have the host-controls remain with the alternative host.If you need to schedule a meeting on behalf of another user, use scheduling privilege. You can also give another Licensed user scheduling privilege, which allows them to schedule meetings for you and makes them an alternative host for those meetings. Alternative hosts can't schedule on behalf of the host.

The meeting will not display in the upcoming meetings list in the desktop client, mobile app, or web page for alternative hosts.

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