While creating meeting with alternative\_hosts getting below error

{  
“code”: 1113,  
“message”: "nkBJi4bBSUyN8VB4nZDnEg is not associated with a Zoom account. "  
}

I’m passing 2 values, one is id returned by zoom and another is email id of non registered at zoom.

Here **nkBJi4bBSUyN8VB4nZDnEg** is host id already registered at zoom.

Meeting details are below  
{  
“topic”: “tea time”,  
“type”: “2”,  
“start\_time”: “2020-05-04 08:00:00”,  
“duration”: “15”,  
“settings”: {  
“host\_video”: 1,  
“alternative\_hosts”: “[nkBJi4bBSUyN8VB4nZDnEg,xxxxxxxx@gmail.com](mailto:nkBJi4bBSUyN8VB4nZDnEg,xxxxxxxx@gmail.com)”  
}  
}

Does this same error occur if you remove the non-Zoom account? I believe Alternative Hosts can only be users part of your Zoom account.

I found the solution. Issue happening for Non-zoom users and non-paid users. If i add paid(licensed) users it is working fine. @samly Thanks for your help.

I am receiving the same error as I try to add alternative hosts to my meeting. It seems like the accounts I’m trying to add are not under the same license, but we’re all at the same university I assume using the same license.
