**This is for developer-specific feature requests. For other requests please contact our customer support team.**

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**  
We run a special Event-DB with a Contao CMS. When an events with a defined host is created, a zoom-webinar is created via the API. A host (user in our Zoom-Webinar-plan) is used for one “track”. Tracks/ timelines consist several zoom-webinars one after the other. Sometimes a webinar has to change the track, so that another host can open this webinar. But we can’t change the host via the update patch.

**Describe the solution you’d like**  
A posibility to change the host via the update.

**Describe alternatives you’ve considered**  
Otherwise we have to cancel/ delete the old webinar, create a new one (in the new timeline) and switch all the registered user to the new one.

**Additional context**
