Hello , i am suffering with a case frequently happening when host leaves the meeting and i do not want any other participants to take the host as in the below posted is there any update happened from the time that question posted ? > [@Host controls passed to registrants when host leaves the meeting](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/host-controls-passed-to-registrants-when-host-leaves-the-meeting/19206): > > When a registrant/participant claims as Host and the meeting is interrupted by abnormal causes like power-cut or through connectivity issues on the Host side and the Host leaves the meeting, then the host control is passed on to other registrants. How to prevent this? ---

Hi @milhemm Thanks for reaching out to us. So you do not want to assign a co-host or participant if the host drops the meeting? ---
