Claiming host in Zoom Rooms using the host key Follow

If you join a meeting from a Zoom Room and need to claim host, you can do so by using the host key. Here are common scenarios where you may need to claim host:

• After manually joining a scheduled meeting in a Zoom Room. In other words, joining by entering the meeting ID or personal meeting link in the Zoom Room controller.
• After joining a meeting using the meeting list in a Zoom Room. If multiple Zoom Rooms join a meeting, the first one to join becomes the meeting host. You can claim host by using the host key.
