Zoom has three roles: Host, Participants, and Co-host. In this video, we will look at the permissions for each role and focus on the co-host. The three roles are 1) Host: The user that scheduled the meeting. They have full permissions to manage the meeting. There can only be one host of a meeting. 2) Co-hosts: Shares most of the controls that hosts have, allowing the co-host to manage the administrative side of the meeting, such as managing attendees. The host must assign a co-host during the meeting. Co-hosts cannot start a meeting. 3) Participants: meeting attendees. These are the people you invited to your meeting. You can tell if you are a participant because your meeting controls will not show the "Security" icon.

There is one more role, alternative host. I'm not covering alternative host in this video, but if a host needs someone else to start the meeting, they can assign an alternative host. Alternative hosts: Shares the same controls as co-hosts but can also start the meeting. Hosts can assign alternative hosts when they schedule a meeting.

2) Navigate to the Co-host option on the Meeting tab and verify that the setting is enabled.
If the setting is disabled, click the Status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.

Using co-host in a meeting
*************************
There are two ways that you can make a user a co-host.

During a meeting:
1) Hover over a user's video.
2) Click the more icon.
3) Click Make Co-Host.

Using the participant's window:
1) Click on Manage Participants in the meeting controls at the bottom of the Zoom window.
2) Hover over the name of the participant who is going to be a co-host, and choose More.
Click Make Co-Host. Once a participant has been made a co-host, they'll have access to the co-host controls.

Q&A
*************************
Can there be more than one host? No. Only one per meeting
Can a co-host end a meeting? No. Only the host can end a meeting.
If I'm the host and leave, can I return and reclaim the host? Yes. Open the participant panel, click the three dots, and select reclaim host.
Can I co-host run polls? Yes, in the video, I said no, but a co-host can run polls. A co-host can't create or edit polls.
