As a leader or manager of a team, you’ve probably been asking yourself the same question over the past year: How can you inspire your team when you aren’t together? Without the spontaneous, in-person conversations that sprout in an office environment, many distributed and remote team leads have turned to video meetings. But replacing informal catch-ups and quick questions with 30-minute meetings takes up time, costing individuals 157 hours in productivity over the past year.

When you host tons of Zoom meetings, you might have to exit some meetings suddenly. However, in the absence of a host, other attendees will not be able to perform some essential actions on Zoom. So what can you do? Simple: Make someone else a host! In this article, we’ll explain how to make someone else a host on Zoom. We’ll then look into four frequently asked questions about Zoom meeting hosts.

Speaking up and asking questions during video conferences or webinars can help you draw the host’s attention to resolve any doubts or confusion. That said, it can be quite distracting to interrupt someone when they’re speaking. Fortunately, Zoom has a convenient raise hand feature. It helps you notify speakers about your intention to ask a question through a digital hand gesture that appears in your video — without disturbing the session.
