Hello,

How can I program a meeting in a Zoom Room with an alternative host ?  
I’d like to see the meeting in the Zoom Room calendar.  
I’m using [Schedule API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-rooms/zoom-rooms-api#schedule) to create the meeting but I don’t see how to define the alternative host.

Thank you for your help

Hi @EVant,

Thanks for reaching out about this.

I don’t believe you can update the alternative host from the Zoom Room API itself, but once the meeting is scheduled you can use our Update Meeting API to update this via the alternative\_hosts field:

Let me know if this helps,  
Will
