todays sit dropped out

[michaelw]

Todays sit with Shosai dropped out after about eight minutes.
When I logged back in Ben appeared to be the host so I let it be.
Ben then had to go and attend to something and the whole thing shut down again with a message terminated by host.
I lost the other two sitters - perhaps they are still sitting.
Is this a known bug and/or is there anything I should do to regain hosting if it happens again?

If you were host, and your connection was lost, someone else was randomly made host, which means if they leave and don't assign another host, the meeting is closed. You cannot regain host privileges unless the new host makes you host. The only solution would be to have an assigned co-host who knows not to leave the meeting or to make you host again.

This morning my screen went black and Zoom shut down. I tried to get back on but Zoom kept shutting down. I have since tested a Zoom call and it appears to be working correctly.

Yes I lost all connection too.
Just one of those things I guess.

So if I don't claim host then if I drop the connection and come back nobody is host?
If the interventions have stopped maybe I will try this on Monday not claiming host.
I think this is the first problem that occurred since I started hosting?

You can join without claiming host, yeah, and if there's any major disturbance and you need to intervene, it's easy to simply claim host.
