Hi all,
Another aspect of preparing for the online OpenSpace is figuring out which hack to use so that people can move between breakout groups. The route we are looking at is making everyone cohosts. I had read on this list that there was a limit to the number of cohosts at 50 75. I was looking at Zoom support and saw a statement that there is no limit:
The host must?. There is no limitation on the number of co-hosts you can have in a meeting or webinar.
Do you think they removed the limitation with the latest update? Does anyone know?
Thanks, Peggy

I have been hosting Open Space in Zoom for years, and have never experienced a limit on the number of co-hosts. As recently as last Tuesday, I tech-hosted OS for 75 people on Zoom without a glitch.

Thanks for that reassurance Amy. I was in an OS run by the Art of Hosting network in March shortly after shelter in place began around the globe. The group was at the 100 person limit and they ran into a problem making everyone a cohost. So I was spooked by that.

My pleasure, Peggy. Of course! The challenge is usually moving quickly enough to make everyone a co-host, and the changes that come with being a co-host, for example, co-hosts can’t raise their hands. They can however do lots of other things that can be disruptive. :-) So you have to let people know what’s happening right up front ?- ask them not to have fun (just kidding - that would be an open invitation! :-) and click all the new shiny toys they see :-) and give them an alternative to raising their “blue” hand if hand-raising is needed.
Hugs,
Amy

Hi Peggy - your?question reminded me I had I meant to share here.?
It's a guide to hosting an Online Open Space with Zoom and Google Slides (with detailed instructions?on using the co-host feature in Zoom for participants to self-navigate into the breakout rooms they want to join).
(I've posted it as a new message but it's pending moderation.)
Hope it is helpful to folks out there!

As a back up if the co-host hack degrades with size, Astrid Pruitt taught me a great hack. On the Open Space wall you assign every session a Number for each session in the round. Then have people rename themselves by putting their number in front of their name (i.e 3 NancyWhite). Then the tech host can quickly put people in breakout rooms.?
Then, if someone wants to exercise the law of two feet, they pop out to the main room, and ask to be sent to a new room. We haven't been renaming when people move to a new room/after the round has started.? We have been able to quickly sort quite a few people this way and anyone who gets left off can be easily sorted in once we open the rooms.?
We repeat for the next round. (We did try A1, A2, etc, but that got too messy. Keep it simple with the numbers. )

Great hack! Thanks, Nancy (and Astrid).

Amanda, thanks for creating such a clear and practical resource!
While you created this in the context of Online Open Space sessions, the same process can be used in creating and supporting group discussions for a wide variety of purposes.? Michael

Hi everyone
An update?to this conversation...
I was on a prep call this morning with a colleague who just updated their Zoom a couple of days ago to version?5.0.5 (26223.0603)?and they no longer had the option to make anyone co-host. We discovered that this option had toggled off in their Zoom settings with the update. ?of ensuring that the co-host option is turned on before you start the meeting. ? If anyone is planning on using the co-host feature, regardless if you've updated Zoom recently or not, good idea to double check you have this turned on in your settings!
Adventures in the never-ending technology?changes!
Amanda
