Overview
Alternative Host and Schedule Privilege are similar features, but they have a key difference. Both options will allow another Licensed (Pro) level account holder to start a meeting that you schedule. A user listed as an Alternative Host may start an individual meeting that you have scheduled. A user with Schedule Privilege may view your Upcoming Meeting schedule, start and delete any meeting, and the user may also schedule new meetings for you.
- Users must have a Licensed (Pro) level account to engage Alternative Host or Schedule Privilege.
- The format of adding a user with these privileges must be NetID@tennessee.edu.
