Hello Community ,
We are hosting large zoom meetings / webinars and we are having a major problem ,
We have to give co-host to multiple participants daily so that they can move themselves
And this created many co-hosts and on some occasions someone deliberately closes the breakoutrooms .
I search all the web on how to disable the close rooms function for only host , "It's coded in Zoom functions."
I searched all the web on how to log the culprit, "Zoom does not log who exactly did"
Seems like a major limitation for large meeting hosting, there should be a way to limit the role of the cohost to less function like eliminating the close breakout rooms for them or at least log which cohost triggered the function without paying the extra for "new feature request "
Ive seen it being asked in the past but to no avail .
Pleas

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @HIE.
What you’re asking for is the ability to mix and match a bunch of settings. Sorry, it’s not going to work that way. Here’s why:
Is there a reason not to trust all attendees to stay where they should be, or not give them permission to move from room to room? Just setting the option to allow all attendees to choose and change their room would be easier.
Is some other reason to enable Co-Hosts, like allowing them to locally record? Not enabling Co-Hosts would alleviate the issue of them inadvertently closing all rooms.
I’d suggest taking some time to prepare concise but detailed instructions for your Co-Hosts, including “what to do” and “what not do to.”
