Cohost

Can I make someone a cohost in the invitation before the meeting begins?

    Best answer by ZoomTestKitchen

    No... co-hosts can only be designated by the host, from within a running meeting.

    I need similar solution. I've been using ZOOM for years, licensed Pro account.

    I host a weekly Hybrid meeting with 4-6 or so meeting at my home + 1-2 on ZOOM. If I can't attend in person (like next week's meeting) how can we do this if I can't make another regular attendee as co-host prior to the event, so he can run the ZOOM Meeting in my place with everyone attending via ZOOM?

    The other options I see could be:

    1. Cancel the meeting for everyone - undesirable & unfair on everyone else.

    2. Start the meeting 5-6 hours early before I leave home, & leave my computer running in my absense - that's just silly.

    3. Give my friend my ZOOM account & password to 'be me' from his home - I doubt you'd like that security breach!

    Happy to know a workable solution please. It will likely occur more often in future.

    Take a look at this document regarding Host Key.
