Host controls allow you as the host to control various aspects of a Zoom meeting, such as managing the participants.

The co-host feature allows the host to share hosting privileges with another user, allowing the co-host to manage the administrative side of the meeting, such as managing participants or starting/stopping the recording.

The host must assign a co-host and this must be done once the meeting has started.

There is no limitation on the number of co-hosts you can have in a meeting or webinar.

Co-hosts do not have access to the following controls as they are only available as host controls in a meeting:

• Start closed captioning and assign someone or a third-party to provide closed captioning

• Start live streaming

• End meeting for all participants

• Make another participant a co-host

• Start waiting room (co-hosts can place participants in waiting room or admit/remove participants from the waiting room)

• Start a meeting. If a host needs someone else to be able to start the meeting, they can assign an alternative host.

• Co-hosts cannot create Polls. They can administer them but not create them.
