Passing host controls to leave the meeting in zoom App

Leaving the meeting is also possible if you are the host. It allows the meeting to proceed without you, and the meeting can be managed by the user assigned to host the meeting.

The original host does not need to be a licensed user to continue running the meeting for an unlimited amount of time.

As long as the original host has a Free or Basic account, the meeting will be restricted to the 40-minute duration, regardless of whether the new host has a Licensed account.
