Sharing Zoom Accounts: "Everybody does it!‪"‬ Business Is Zooming!

    • Technology

Sharing Zoom accounts is against the Zoom Terms of Service.  But there are a few real reasons why sharing a paid account is a bad idea.

But maybe you're not aware that there are ways to let other people host your meetings.  In this episode, I cover the 3 workaround scenarios:


The "Host Key" approach, where you give your Host Key (but NOT your login username and password) to a substitute host
The "Scheduling Privilege" approach, where two paid logins on the same organizational account can schedule and start each other's meetings
The "Alternate Host" approach, where you designate another user (paid login on your organizational account) to be a potential host on one of your meetings.
