Zoom breakout room hosts

I assigned breakout rooms for our weekly team meeting. I assigned a co-host in the case I wasn't able to start the meeting. Since he was not part of any of the breakout rooms he left the meeting. Once he dropped off the call, it ended the breakout rooms for everyone, even though I was still on the call. Do I just need to remove any co-hosts? Do I have to keep the meeting going to keep the breakrooms open?

it sounds like he clicked the end meeting option rather than leave the meeting option.

Anyone habituated to leaving meetings does that.
It's the software's fault for not transferring host to a co-host automatically.

Problem with that is: breakout rooms created by one host are not visible/manage-able by another.

This causes issues when the breakout room creator has internet connectivity issues, too!

Zoom: Please make breakout room creation COLLABORATIVE AMONG (co)HOSTS.

So that means that co-hosts can leave the meeting and it can still continue as long as one host stays on?

yes, that is correct.
