Roles in a Zoom meeting

Estimated reading: 1 minute

here are four roles in Zoom:

Host: The user that scheduled the meeting. They have full permissions to manage the meeting. There can only be one host of a meeting.
Participants: Have the rights given to them by the Host. Typically only using web cameras, microphones, chat and reactions.
Co-hosts: Shares most of the controls that hosts have, allowing the co-host to manage the administrative side of the meeting, such as managing attendees. The host must assign a co-host during the meeting. Co-hosts cannot start a meeting. If a host needs someone else to start the meeting, they can assign an alternative host.
Alternative hosts: Shares the same controls as co-hosts, but can also start the meeting. Hosts can assign alternative hosts when they schedule a meeting.
