I have set up a recurring meeting for a community of mine to meet regularly weekly
I have set it so the participants can join whether or not the host has started the meeting
The system will not let me set up co hosts in the set up - why not?
I also can't seem to be able to allow screen sharing for all participants except when I join the meeting as well
I don't join every meeting - I have co-hosts which as I said - I can't set up ...
What can I do - I can't make myself available every week ...

Hi @Amolandi
Zoom's terms of service expect one paid user to be the host and arrive and control the meeting.
You can only set co-hosts, which are paid users on that account.
Even if you managed to have someone else initiate the meeting, it would still be limited by a free account and would end after 40 minutes.
However, Zoom does not expect people to set up meetings and then let anyone run them. It considers this a violation of its usage policy.
I hope that explains it.
