Hello   @yukla

Please see the following article to verify that Co-Host feature is enabled on your account, and once it is further down on the article it will show you how to make a participant a Co-Host in your meeting: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0066640 

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

1. Sign into the Zoom web portal as an administrator with the privilege to edit account settings
2. In the navigation panel, click Account Management then Account Settings.
3. Click the Meeting tab.
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.
6. (Optional) If you want to make this setting mandatory for all users in your account, click the lock icon, and then click Lock to confirm the setting

How to assign a co-host in a meeting:

1. Start the meeting as the host. 
2. In the meeting controls, click Participants 
3. Hover over the name of the participant who is going to be a co-host, and choose More.
4. Click Make Co-Host.
5. Once a participant has been made a co-host, they'll have access to the co-host controls.

I hope this helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

Thank you,

I have not seen the ability for a hose to make a co-host in a meeting for a while now. I'm curious what changed. I looked up how to enable co-host and when I went there as instructed in the answer above I found that co-host was already enabled. 

If co-host is enabled why is a host unable to see the make a co-host option on other participants as the answer indicates above here? 

Once I found that co-host was already enabled, the only thing I could do or change was to lock the setting. Will this make co-host ing possible again in a meeting? 

I am curious why co-host used to show up and no longer does even when enabled in settings? What changed?

Hi @yukla,

Please let me know the etiquette of this community, if I should start my own question even if it's the same rather than reply here which I've done. Basically I am having the same problem with being unable to assign co-hosts in a meeting even though co-host is enabled in settings.
