  6. Click “Send”

  2. Click on the Host Controls icon (shield with a lock, bottom right corner)

  3. Turn on Host Management

  4. Click the People icon (bottom right corner)

  5. Find the person you want to give control to

  6. Click the three dots next to their name → Select "Add as co-host"

✅ Now they can manage the meeting like muting others, admitting people, and starting recordings.
