Modifying the host of a Zoom meeting can prove beneficial when the designated host is unable to participate or must temporarily leave the meeting. This article will walk you through the steps of shifting the host of a Zoom meeting.
Step 1: Start the Meeting
To change the host of a Zoom meeting, you must first start the meeting as the original host. Once the meeting has started, you can then transfer the host role to another participant.
Step 2: Transfer Host Role
During the meeting, click on the “Participants” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This will display a list of all participants in the meeting. Hover over the name of the participant you want to transfer the host role to and click on the “Make Co-Host” option.
Step 3: Confirm Transfer
After clicking on the “Make Co-Host” option, a pop-up window will appear asking for confirmation. Click on the “Transfer Host” button to complete the transfer of the host role.
Step 4: End Meeting
Once the host role has been transferred, the original host can then leave the meeting if they need to step away. The new host will have full control over the meeting and can continue with the agenda as planned.
Conclusion
Changing the host of a Zoom meeting is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. By following these steps, you can ensure that your meeting runs smoothly even if the original host is unable to attend or needs to step away.
