Description Please see steps to reproduce Which version? 2.6.0 To Reproduce(If applicable) Steps to reproduce the behavior: User1 joins meeting as guest from one browser on a machine User2 joins meeting as guest from another browser on a different machine User1 presses the claim host button a…

Hey @alexbudin , thanks for bringing this up. This is expected behavior for Zoom Meetings and the Meeting SDK (Web, mobile, and desktop platforms). If a meeting is occurring and the host leaves, a host is assigned until an authenticated host rejoins the meeting. Following the thread in 2020 about 1…

I have reread your post and now I have understand what you found and the problem is also in SDK version 2.8.0 my Test: guest-1 starts the meeting with setting “Allow participants to join anytime” guest-1 will be host with the host key guest-2 enters the meeting result: OK [Z-1] now guest-1 (…

now I have checked the same on the non SDK version on zoom.us → same security problem [Z2-1] closed tab of the host [Z2-2] after 2 minutes waiting [Z3-2] → Guest-2 is now host without authentication UPDATE: same will be happen, if the original host don’t close the browser, but has a 2 min…

same happens, if you have an normal host (without guest claim host) a short message “you are now host” after 2 minutes and the guest will be host without authentication

@michael.zoom There is no way this is normal. Hopefully an option is added in the meeting settings that prevents this. A checkbox or something that lets the app creator/admin to not allow the host to be given to anyone else. This is quite a big security problem. @j.schoenemeyer is right, this app…

Thank you for your feedback @alexbudin and @j.schoenemeyer ! As @michael.zoom mentioned, this is expected behavior. However, you can control who is passed host controls (meeting admin rights) and manage the experience if a host loses connection. To mitigate a random guest getting admin rights, you …

But this is still a bug. I dont want to use waiting rooms. Imagine having a live stream and the host drops and a guest just gets host and terminates the meeting. There are legitimate reasons why someone might not want to use a waiting room and its not even default. If you would have this as a defau…

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, @alexbudin . I understand your point that there are legitimate reasons why someone would want to create a meeting without a waiting room. In this situation, I do see an issue allowing the creation of meetings without waiting rooms. I’ve fo…

You SHOULD allow creation of meetings without a waiting room, but a simple checkbox to not allow the transfer of the host would just fix this where there is no waiting room configured. It should be such a simple fix to do. This is currently a security issue as it stands.

is there any way to see in the SDK version, if someone is host or co-cost - the guest, who get the lost host right, is named as (Host, Me) after the 2 minute timeout is there a info page, where the difference between Host and Co-Host is described in detail
