**Description**  
Is there any initial documentation on using the Co-Host feature with version 1.8.0 of the Web SDK. I see in the change log that it was included, but I can’t seem to find any references to how to use it.

I see there’s an Assistant Role (value 5) that can be passed to the role parameter when setting up the object for a signature, but when I tested that out, the connected user couldn’t interact in the meeting. Is the intended feature for co-host?

Also, it seems that the reference section in the Web SDK documentation is still referencing 1.7.8.

**Which version?**  
1.8.0

Hey @freeholdsoftware,

The Co-Host feature is in the Web SDK meeting UI:

Make sure to [enable the Co-Host setting in the Zoom Web Portal beforehand](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206330935-Enabling-and-adding-a-co-host).

At this time we do not have a function or offer a way to programmatically make someone a Co-Host.

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hey Tommy, just found the setting, switched it on and see the option in the Web SDK. Thanks for the help!
