Updated on January 10, 2022 This article teaches you how to change the host in a Zoom meeting and explains any limitations to the process. Can I Transfer a Zoom Meeting to Another Host? Yes. With
all Zoom meetings, it's possible to transfer hosting controls to a different user. This feature is convenient if the original host must leave before the meeting concludes. There is a catch, though. If the original host is a free user of Zoom rather than someone with a business account, the meeting is limited to 40 minutes. That remains the case even if the new host has a paid version of Zoom and can typically host for an unlimited amount of time. How Do I Change the Host on a Zoom Before Meeting? The process is relatively simple if you want to change hosts before a Zoom meeting. Here's how to add an alternative host via the meeting scheduling tool. The ability to add alternative hosts is only available to paid or licensed Zoom users. Those with free plan accounts can only change hosts while a meeting is underway. Alternative hosts also need to be paid users of Zoom.
Where Is the Host Control in Zoom? Once a Zoom meeting is underway, it's pretty straightforward to change the host thanks to Zoom's host controls. Here's where to look and how to pass control over to another user.
Can You Have Two Hosts on Zoom? It's possible to set up a Zoom meeting with two hosts where both of you can manage the administrative side of things. You need to have a paid/licensed Zoom plan to do so. The feature is not available for free
users of Zoom. Here's how to set it up. Co-hosts cannot end meetings for all participants, make other participants a host, and they cannot start live streaming or start closed captioning.
