Webex Alternate Host

With Webex, you can set an alternate host to let someone lead a Webex meeting for you. Alternate hosts can start, manage, and record your scheduled meeting on their own - you do not need to be present in the meeting. This is very helpful if you think that you might run late or might not be able to attend your scheduled Webex meeting.

Alternate hosts can be added for meetings in your Personal Meeting Room and for other scheduled Webex meetings. You can set one or multiple alternate hosts.

  4. Near bottom, check box "Let others host my Personal Room meetings without me".
  5. Select "Let me choose alternate hosts for my Personal Room meetings".
  6. Enter the CC email address of the alternate host, then click Save.
