During a Zoom meeting, the host and co-host have access to the Host Tools.

This menu provides a clear overview of the security features in place, where the host can:
-
-
- Lock meeting: locks the meeting, preventing new participants from joining the meeting.
- Enable waiting room: activates the waiting room for new participants or to move current participants to the waiting room.
- Hide profile pictures: hides all profile pictures, including that of the host. Instead, the names will be displayed.
- You can set the following participant permissions independently: Share screen; Chat; Rename self; Activate own audio; Start video; Annotation on shared content; Share whiteboards; Share annotations; Record on computer; Request to record on computer; Request host to start cloud recording; Collaborate with Zoom Apps; Set meeting timers.
- Remove participant: allows you to remove a participant from the meeting. The participant cannot rejoin unless you allow removed participants to rejoin in the Meeting settings.
