I want to create meeting with alternative host but I can’t. When I’m enter alternative host email on the meeting create api then the response I got is ““code”: 1114, “message”: “Unable to assign "example@gmail.com" as an alternative host because the user cannot be selected at this time””.

Hi @shihab.qtec  
Thanks for reaching out to us.  
Can you please make sure that the user that you are trying to set as an alternative host belongs to your same account?  
If so, make sure that you have the right scheduling privileges for this
