Transferring ownership of Zoom meetings or webinars is useful in many cases, for instance when you leave the university or transfer to another department. Your Zoom meetings or webinars may need to stay with your team or department so that they can continue to use them.
Note: Transferring meetings should always be done before the person who owns the meetings leaves the university.
