Hi @praveen270877 

 

Check under https://zoom.us/account/setting/security for the setting "Only account admin can change users' name, profile picture, sign-in email, and host key".

 

Hope this helps.

Check to make sure a meeting is not currently in session for that account.

That is right.  After I logged out, I could change the HOSTKey.  Thanks Katie

Thank you!! This was what I needed - I was logged into a meeting

I am having the same problem as well! 

I have tried to enable "participants can join before host" in case this was stopping it, but no.

Hello

Since my query on 24.10.22 above, I've been able to update our host key but I can't quite remember how I achieved this!  

 

When I login to our account and go into Profile, it gives me the option there to edit the host key.  As the account owner I think I was then able to go to User Management and edit the host key for each of our licences.  I hope that helps you.

Go to : ADMIN => Account Management => Account Settings => enable "Allow Zoom Rooms to start meeting with Host Key"

Then go back to Settings => Meetings => and check your Host Key option.

 

Hope this helps.
