Zoom has three roles: Host, Participants, and Cohost. In this video, we will look at the permissions for each role and focus on the cohost. The three roles are 1) Host: The user that scheduled the meeting. They have full permissions to manage the meeting. There can only be one host of a meeting. 2) Cohosts: Shares most of the controls that hosts have, allowing the cohost to manage the administrative side of the meeting, such as managing attendees. The host must assign a cohost during the meeting. Cohosts cannot start a meeting. 3) Participants: meeting attendees. These are the people you invited to your meeting. You can tell if you are a participant because your meeting controls will not show the "Security" icon.

There is one more role, alternative host. I'm not covering alternative host in this video, but if a host needs someone else to start the meeting, they can assign an alternative host. Alternative hosts: Shares the same controls as cohosts but can also start the meeting. Hosts can assign alternative hosts when they schedule a meeting.

If the setting is disabled, click the Status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.

Using cohost in a meeting
*************************
There are two ways that you can make a user a cohost.

During a meeting:
1) Hover over a user's video.
2) Click the more icon.
3) Click Make CoHost.

Using the participant's window:
1) Click on Manage Participants in the meeting controls at the bottom of the Zoom window.
2) Hover over the name of the participant who is going to be a cohost, and choose More.
Click Make CoHost. Once a participant has been made a cohost, they'll have access to the cohost controls.

Q&A
*************************
Can there be more than one host? No. Only one per meeting
Can a cohost end a meeting? No. Only the host can end a meeting.
If I'm the host and leave, can I return and reclaim the host? Yes. Open the participant panel, click the three dots, and select reclaim host.
Can I cohost run polls? Yes, in the video, I said no, but a cohost can run polls. A cohost can't create or edit polls.
