I’m using Web SDK version 1.7.5. Is it possible to use the `ZoomMtg.expel()` method if the user in question is a co-host? It doesn’t error when I execute it, but nothing happens.

Thank you!

Hey @tmb,

Are you trying to expel the co host? Or are you trying to have the co host expel someone else?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hey @tmb,

Are you passing in a `userId` from this list:

Thanks,
