Help
Recently I have been playing at the casual tables frequently with one or two other human players, the remaining seat(s) being taken by robots which I have rented. That means I have to be the host of the table. Generally once or twice per session (or more) I lose connection and get dumped from the table. At present there is no convenient way of resuming "host" status: the other players have to leave the table and then be invited back.
Could hosts be given the power to transfer the status to another player at the table?
Alternatively, could robots be made available if any one of the players present has rented them?

Change table host manually It would be nice to have a convenient means of changing the table host

I posted this a month ago, and it has sunk without trace (no replies, no views apparently). So I am rudely going to bump it up, because this is the single issue most impairing my enjoyment of BBO at the moment.

What a good ides. There are many reasons why you might want to change host quickly.

This thread really didn't get any traction! This feature used to exist. You could reassign the host using (I think) the hamburger menu. I assume it was removed intentionally... but why?

This feature has never existed as far as I can recall.

I just made this same request to BBO Support and got nowhere.
When I start a table in Casual, it is invisible with permission required to play or kibbitz.
The people I play with are seniors who tend to be computer challenged.
If I, as table host, get completely dropped from the table (it happens way too often), I have a terrible time trying to explain to the current "crown" holder how to get me reseated. I have gone through the simple process many times since the start of the pandemic, and it just doesn't register.
It would help if there were a very simple way for the current crown holder to reassign the crown to someone else at the table (presumably the person best able to get me reseated).
