I need help. When I try to change the studio host of my studio this message appears “This user cannot become the host-try transferring another manager” I have been doing random things for an HOUR but to no avail!! TYSM to anyone that answers.

Can you send the link to the studio?
Also, which user are you trying to transfer host to?

https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/33158137 Both managers are me… It will NOT let me change to ZeldaFamiliar… OOF!

I think it might be the fact that it's a New Scratcher account, though I thought it allowed it but guess that never actually happened or it got fixed.

GREAT…! JUST GREAT…!

FYI I am on a tablet… if that changes circumstances…

Correct, New Scratchers are not allowed to be studio hosts.

To be more specific, New Scratchers can’t be studio members period. This would be a user who was a New Scratcher and a manager of that studio before the major studio update.

You’re going to have to transfer the studio to someone else, or try again when the user is a Scratcher.

I mean they intended to transfer it to an alt.

How long is it until someone is considered a “Scratcher”??

around 2 weeks minimum, if the user is fairly active (made some projects for example)

The person is probably a New Scratcher. They cannot become studio hosts period, even if you're transferring the studio to a new account of yours. You'll have to wait until the person/account gets the Scratcher status, and then it'll work.

They're referring to their new alt, and it is a New Scratcher account.
Also, this was explained before.
