As a host or co-host, you can click on individual participant's videos and click "Stop video" to turn their video off.
After doing so however, a participant cannot turn their video back on themselves and require a host to click "Ask to start video" again for them to be able to turn their video back on.
Is there a setting to allow participants to turn their videos back on without a host?
If not, where can one submit this feature request?
Many thanks!

Hi @BeAnBeAn
I do not believe there is a way. Stopping someone's video is mostly a security feature, so letting a participant resume their video without permission might compromise that use-case.
But I can see your use-case as well - maybe there could be a workaround.
You could make the suggestion here: https://zoom.us/feed
