Hi, has anyone here encounter the same like me?

There is no option for me to enable co-host.

I have tried the suggested methods here but however there is not even the toggle for me to switch on at all?

Thanks all

    Enabling co-host Account

    To enable the Co-host feature for all members of your organization:

    4. Under In Meeting (Basic), verify that the Co-host setting is enabled.
    5. If the setting is disabled, click the toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, click Turn On to verify the change.

    Hi, I am a pro user and I have followed the steps provided to activate the co-host but when we start the zoom meeting, I don't see the option to make someone a co-host.  I can only see make a host.

    Are you a Pro user or still basic? Co-host is only available for Pro accounts or above.

    I think this is something that needs to be reconsidered for free/basic users, in case of weak internet signals & host disappears. At least with a co-host the meeting can continue.
