Hey there,

Does the IsHost from IUserInfo in the Linux SDK ([link](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/meeting/windows/class_i_user_info.html#a4dd3760d6fde8ad685d39fbcb425e1b7)) return true if the participant is a co-host?

Thanks

@noahviktorschenk

isHost should only return true for the meeting host. To identify co-hosts, you can use either the getUserRole() method or the onCoHostChangeNotification callback:
