Zoom: Transfer Meeting Ownership to a New Host

Environment

U-M Zoom

Issue

I would like to transfer ownership of my existing Zoom meetings to a new host.

Resolution

You can transfer a Zoom meeting to another individual at the university by following the steps below.

Note: Ownership transfer has to be done for every meeting you host. There is no way to transfer ownership of multiple meetings at once.

  1. The individual to whom you're transferring ownership/host privileges must add the current host as a Zoom delegate. Refer to Zoom: Schedule a Meeting for Someone Else to Host (Delegate, Scheduling Privilege) for instructions.
  2. Go to U-M Zoom and click Sign in.
  3. You should land on your Meetings page after logging in to your account. It includes a list of every meeting for which you are the host under the Upcoming tab.
  4. Hover over the meeting you'd like to transfer and click Edit.
  5. Click the drop-down beside "Schedule For" and select the new host's name from the list.
    • If the new host's name does not appear, the new host has not made you a delegate on their account yet. Redirect them to the instructions in step one before trying to edit the meeting again.
  6. Click the Save button at the bottom. The meeting will now be owned and hosted by the new individual.
  7. Repeat these steps for every meeting of which you'd like to transfer ownership.

After transferring all meetings, ask the new host to remove you as an account delegate in their Zoom settings (if desired).
