Swapping Hosts

I have set a meeting for a school meet. I am not the host. The host will be the school principal and then another member of staff will take another part of the meeting. How do I allocate host status to them.  I wont be leaving the meeting. 

Thanks

Hello Conor78,

 

Thank you for your inquiry.

 

As you will be joining the Zoom meeting you can assign Host and Co-host privileges to other attendees when the meeting starts. To do this you will need to ensure that this feature is first enabled in the Zoom portal if it hasn't been already. Please see the following support article that shows you how to enable the feature and use it.
