allows the users to join the meeting.

Note: To remove a person from your meeting, first click the attendee’s Menu icon ( 9781119835844-ma020 ). To remove the user temporarily, click Put in Waiting Room; to remove the user permanently, click Remove.

Enable the Co-Host Option

If you want to make one of your meeting participants a co-host of your meeting, you need to enable that option in your Zoom profile. You can share hosting duties by assigning a participant to be a meeting co-host. The capability of making an attendee a co-host is disabled by default. You can enable the co-host feature by modifying your meeting settings.

Once you have enabled the co-host setting, in subsequent meetings you will be able to assign co-host duties to an attendee, as described in the next section, “Make an Attendee a Meeting Co-Host.”

Make an Attendee a Meeting Co-Host

Hosting a meeting comes with a number of responsibilities, including admitting authorized users, controlling attendee audio and video when needed, setting security options, removing users, and more. If you are hosting a meeting with many participants, you might find all these tasks burdensome. If so, you can share that burden and make hosting a large meeting easier by making one or more attendees a co-host.

To make someone a co-host, you need to enable this feature in your profile settings. See the previous section, “Enable the Co-Host Option.”

Assign an Attendee to Type Closed Captions

If your meeting includes participants who are hearing impaired, you can assign another participant to type closed captions. Zoom offers a feature that enables you to assign a third-party service to create closed captions. However, if you do not have access to such a service and your meeting either has one or more hearing-impaired participants or is required to provide such accessibility, you as the meeting host can assign another attendee to provide the closed captioning. Ideally, it is best to contact that user before the meeting to ensure the person is willing and able to type closed captions.
