Does anyone know how does Calendly work with Zoom Alternative Hosts?  We have a paid Zoom corporate subscription where all our users are in one place, and we have a paid Calendly Professional account.  When a user has a new Zoom meeting booked with them via Calendly, the user will then add in an Alternative Host via Zoom to the meeting, but the problem is the Alternative Host cannot start the Zoom meeting via the Zoom link sent through Calendly.  The Alternative Host can start the meeting via the email they received from Zoom that they have been assigned as an Alternative Host and use the email link to start the meeting, but is there a way where the Alternative Host can start the Calendly Zoom meeting directly from the Calendly meeting invite?

 

Hey there @Edward51457 - great question! The alternative host would need to also be added as a host on the calendar event. This can be done if you are using Calendar Invitations from Calendly and then (for example, using Google Calendar) go to the actual Google Calendar event and add an additional host to it. This will not add them as a host to the Calendly meeting in Calendly, but will allow them to be on the actual calendar event and in turn should allow them to open the link from that meeting. Give it a try!
