Summary

How to transfer a meeting from one user to another. For example, you have a student account and an employee account, and need to move your Zoom meetings from one account to the other.

Body

You have Zoom meetings in one account and need to transfer them to another account. For example, you may personally have both a student account and an employee account, and need to move your Zoom meetings from one account to the other. Or you may be leaving your position and want to transfer meetings to someone else before your last day of work. Transferring meetings between users first requires setting up scheduling privilege. Once scheduling privileges have been configured, you may do the following:

How to transfer a meeting between users

If you have scheduled a meeting for someone, but need to reschedule the meeting so that someone else is the host, scheduling privilege can help. You can edit meetings and change the host as many times as needed before the session starts. Any changes to the meeting while the meeting is active will not be reflected until the meeting is restarted.

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Meetings.
  3. Find and click on the topic of the meeting you need to adjust.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. In the Schedule For section, click the drop-down and select a new host.
    Note: You must already have scheduling privilege for both the current host and the user you wish to assign this meeting to.
  6. Click Save.

Once the meeting is transferred between users on the Zoom web portal, the meeting should now appear on the list of upcoming meetings for the new host on the Zoom web portal, desktop app, and mobile app. If the event was exported to or scheduled directly in a calendar service, such as Outlook or Google Calendar, please make sure the new host has also been invited to the calendar event.

Note: This is also possible with webinars, but requires all users (both hosts and the user with scheduling privileges) have the webinar add-on.

 

If you are unable to use scheduling privilege to transfer meetings or have additional questions, please submit a service request we will be glad to assist you.
