When a host schedules a webinar, they are able to add an Alternative Host to their webinar so that the alternative can become a Co-Host when they enter the webinar event. If the host is absent during the webinar, the alternative host automatically becomes host in the host's absence.
If the host does not add an alternative host prior to the webinar, the host can change the role of an attendee or panelist in the live webinar to co-host to assist with management of the webinar event.
Co-hosts can manage most functions just like the host:
- Mute or unmute attendees
- Stop panelist's video
- Ask a panelist to start video
- Spotlight a Video
- Promote attendee to panelist
- Demote from panelist to attendee
- Change attendees' view
- Change who attendees can chat with
- Remove attendees
- Allow attendees to talk
- Invite others to join the Webinar
- Record locally and to the cloud
However, only the host can:
- Assign closed caption input
- Live Stream
- Create or edit polls
- Put panelist on hold
- Assign Co-host Permission
- End the Webinar
