Frequently Asked Questions

 

Every person who participates in a Zoom meeting receives a host key (also known as a set up a password at the individual meeting, go to the settings tab and enable it. This setting will give you an option to set your password) which allows them to become the host of any Zoom meeting they are participating in. The host key allows the person to become the host of any Zoom meeting even if they accidentally entered as a “participant”. When you join a meeting without first signing in to Zoom, even after it has already started, there are times when this may happen as a result of joining a meeting without first signing in to Zoom.
 
You can find your six-digit host key on the Zoom profile page on the left side of the screen, and you can use it to login. If you want to change your 6-digit Host Key, you can modify it at any time, and you can enter the one that you prefer. There is a requirement of 6 digits. When you use either the Zoom client or the phone conferencing option, or whether you use an H, the Host Key gives you access to starting meetings as well as to claiming host-control permissions whenever you use either one of these tools.
