In the event that you need to leave a Zoom meeting, either permanently or temporarily, and would like to leave someone else as the meeting's host, you can do so from the Participant settings.
1. Click on Participants in the Zoom navigation bar.
2. In the pop-up, click on the three dots next to the name of participant you would like to make host. Then, select Make Host from the menu.
3. Confirm your choice by selecting, Change host.
4. Once a participant has been made a host, they can access the host controls. In the participant list, they will be listed as "Host". The host tools icon will no longer be viewable in the navigation bar.
You will NO longer be able to access the host tools even though you created the Zoom meeting. Make sure to designate a trusted participant as the Host.
5. To reclaim host tools, click Reclaim host.
6. You will now be re-instated as the host and you will be able to access the host tools in the navigation bar.
