Use this interactive demo to learn how to locate your Zoom Host Key from your profile settings.

Quick summary

The Zoom Host Key is a six-digit passcode found in your Zoom web portal profile that lets you claim host controls in a meeting. To find your Host Key, sign in to the Zoom web portal, navigate to your Profile, and reveal the key under the Meeting section.


Steps

  1. On Zoom's web portal, navigate to the top-right corner and click 'Sign In'.
  2. Provide your Zoom user credentials and then tap 'Sign In' to proceed.
  3. Head over to the left-side panel and select 'Profile'.
  4. Under the Meeting section, find 'Host Key' and click the 'View' button next to it.
  5. The numbers hidden behind asterisk characters will be revealed as your Zoom Host Key.

📌 Why this matters

The Zoom Host Key is a critical credential that allows meeting organizers to claim host privileges without needing the original host present, making it essential for seamless webinar and meeting management. Knowing how to locate your Host Key in the Zoom web portal ensures you can take control of any meeting quickly, reducing disruptions and delays. For teams running recurring meetings, training sessions, or large-scale virtual events, easy access to the Host Key is a fundamental part of efficient Zoom administration.
