Important Notes

• Participants must be in the meeting to become a host.

• Co-hosts can turn Host Management off, but only the main host can re-enable Host Management for all other hosts.

• Participants can’t be appointed or removed as co-hosts from breakout rooms. Participants must return to the main room to be granted hosting privileges.

• Only the main host receives meeting info, like attendance reports or polling details, but can share meeting info with other co-hosts.

• Host Management settings are saved for any recurring meetings or meetings that re-use the same meeting code. Appointed co-hosts will need to be re-appointed for any recurring meetings.

• If you are using Breakout Rooms, ensure Host Management is turned on prior to launching your breakout rooms. This cannot be changed after the breakout rooms are live, and prevents the designation of co-hosts who can run breakout rooms or use meeting safety features.
