Normally, if you are logged in to Zoom and you join a meeting you have scheduled, you will automatically be made the host of the meeting.

However, you may join a meeting and realize you do not have host permissions (you will not see recording options, poll, breakout rooms, etc.)

This usually means you are not logged in to Zoom. The following guide will explain how to log in and claim host privileges for one of your own meetings.

Instructions to claim host privileges

  1. Click on the Participants window in zoom.

     

  2. Click the Claim Host button.

     

  3. Select “I am the host”

     

  4. Use the Google login link to log in to Zoom with your NCSSM Google account.
