Participant controls in a meeting

When you join a Zoom meeting hosted by another user, you are considered a participant, unless the original host adds you as a co-host or transfers host controls to you. The user who scheduled the meeting or was selected to be the alternative host (if the host is unable to join) will have host controls. Learn more about roles in a meeting.
