Zoom is a widely-used video conferencing tool that enables individuals to remotely connect with others. A standout feature of Zoom is its capacity to include co-hosts in a meeting. Co-hosts can assist with meeting management, participant control, and ensuring a seamless experience for all those involved.

To add a co-host on Zoom, you first need to start a meeting. Once you have started the meeting, you will see a toolbar at the bottom of your screen. Click on the “Participants” button to view the list of participants in the meeting.
Step 2: Find the Participant You Want to Promote
In the “Participants” panel, you will see a list of all the participants in the meeting. Look for the participant you want to promote to co-host. Once you have found them, hover over their name and click on the three dots that appear.
Step 3: Promote Participant to Co-Host
In the drop-down menu that appears, select “Make Co-Host.” This will promote the participant to co-host status. They will now have access to all the features and controls that you do as the host of the meeting.
Step 4: Manage Co-Hosts
Once a participant has been promoted to co-host, they will appear in the “Participants” panel with a special icon next to their name. You can manage your co-hosts by clicking on the three dots next to their name and selecting “Remove Co-Host.”
