Unfortunately, you have to assign them live in the meeting. If you have a company Zoom account, you can set-up alternative hosts in the backend but for co-hosts, you'll need to do that in each session once those speakers join.
You're welcome! Yes, it's a similar functionality. The big difference is that they should have a "panelist link" to join the meeting as opposed to the participant link.
I pay for the zoom membership for a genealogy club and use my computer to host meetings. If, for some reason, I am unavailable, can I have someone else perform these duties on his own computer? We have remote speakers at our meetings.
They would need your login and password to use your account if you want to continue to only pay for one Zoom account. Alternatively, you can pay for an additional user for your account and then use, they could use the same account to host meetings with their own login. I often do the first option for webinars that I can't lead but need someone else to fill for me for different organizations I volunteer for
Hi Siren, have you enabled the co-host feature in your backend settings in Zoom? You will need to first toggle the co-host feature on at Zoom.com > Settings > Search "Co-host" to make sure it's enabled. Let me know if you have any questions!
Yes, if you stay camera off and muted while the webinar is live, you won't be seen. Anytime you're unmuted, you would be heard but you can also use spotlighting to control who the webinar participants see. All speakers will be able to see you but the attendees won't be able to!
Question? When you make someone a cohost, can attendees ask questions in real time? If I'm interested in creating a group meeting is it free or is it an upgrade fee?
Great question, so cohost and the chat/Q&A feature are two separate things. If you have made someone a co-host and you've set your Q&A to only be visible to the host/presenters, then yes your co-host would also be able to see your questions. Zoom has a free version that allows you to set up group meetings, they usually just limit the length of time you can host a meeting, currently it's 45 minutes I believe.
Hi Shemo, on the Zoom mobile app, you'll need to click on Participants and then click on the person who you'd like to make the co-host and you'll see a few options pop up, starting with mute, and towards the bottom you'll see the option to "Make Host" or "Make Co-Host." This appeared for me when I had at least two other people (3 total) in the meeting. Hope that helps!
Yes! If you're the host, click on the Participants list in Zoom Meeting, and then click the name, it'll give you options to make them the host or co-host. I'll be sharing a video on how to do this in the coming weeks!
Do you have at least 3 people/devices in your Zoom meeting when you're looking for it? You also need to make sure in the backend at Zoom.com that you have co-host enabled.
@@angelsstuff Have you enabled "co-host" on your Zoom backend settings? You also need to have more than one person in the meeting to see the function to make someone a co-host. Let me know if that helps!
@@loganclements it does not appear on our settings, I've seen alot of tutorial that says toggle that button but the "co-host toggle button" itself was never there . please help us
Hi Sophia, do you have at least 3 people/devices in your meeting? You won't see the option with only 1-2 people. You also need to make sure that you have it enabled on your Zoom.com backend. Let me know if that helps!
Hi Leah, I'm sorry to hear that! Do you have at least 3 people in the meeting when you're testing this? Unfortunately the controls won't appear if it's just you in the Zoom room
I’m sorry to hear that! Are you the host of the meeting? You also need to confirm that you have co-host enabled on your Zoom backend settings. Let me know if that helps!
@@ayaalmajali8953 do you also have more than one person in the meeting with you? You can also join from your phone and desktop. You won't see "Make a Co-Host" if you're the only person in the meeting. Let me know if you have other questions!
so helpful , Thanks
Thanks for this great information!
Very helpful. Thanks a lot! 👍
U did so good thanks
I love that you explain the reason to do specific things Logan!
Thank you! It's nice to know the why behind these features :)
Good video! Can co-hosts be set up ahead of time? I like it for speakers.

If you are actually looking for the answer, skip to 4:08 in the video where she finally gets around to it.
Great explanation!!!!!
Great job Logan, thank you. Does adding a co-host to a webinar work the same way as a meeting?

Can I be a "host" (as in, it's my account), but not be seen on the webinar?
Yes, if you stay camera off and muted while the webinar is live, you won't be seen. Anytime you're unmuted, you would be heard but you can also use spotlighting to control who the webinar participants see. All speakers will be able to see you but the attendees won't be able to!

I figured it out. NONE OF THIS WORKS UNLESS you first go settings and turn on "co host feature."
Yes, you'll need to have it enabled on the backend to make someone a co-host!
I don’t find it when using mobile (my phone is I-phone)
