Transferring ownership of a Zoom meeting

Tags Zoom

Note: This process will only change the owner through Zoom. If you have created the meeting in Outlook, you will need to transfer ownership and then the new owner may copy the Zoom invitation into a new Outlook invite. Outlook does not have an option to transfer ownership.
