As a consumer, I host and run Zoom meetings as president of several local ham clubs. I run the club business presentation first, then mute everyone and then let the presenter share their desktop (co-host). I watch and occasionally do some "moderation", but we haven't had any problems.

We had Bob Heil speak recently (he was awesome) and he was switching sound from device to device constantly to do some live demos with absolutely no problem. He also had several video feeds he switches between with no problem.

As a presenter, I've done two presentations for different clubs. They were the Zoom host and there was no problem. I also switched between two different webcams and my desktop during my presentation with no issues.

Hey, fellow presenters -

Since the pandemic, I have been ZOOM-ing my presentations. I issue the invitation,
I use my account, I am in charge of the whole show. My wife works the “Chat Box” and
watched for questions and late arrivals for me.

The ONLY time I let another club “run the show” it was a disaster. They made a few
techie errors … all would NOT have occurred if I had initiated the whole thing.

SO, my question: Are you initiating your meetings yourselves? Or are you finding
being set up as “co-host” is working OK for you? There are a couple sound bytes in
my session - so sharing full-screen and sharing computer sound are mandatory (all OK
when I run it).

Thanks.
