Overview
A meeting leader may assign the role of co-host to any participant in a meeting. Once a meeting participant has been assigned the co-host role, that attendee may select the Participants and Host tools icons on the meeting toolbar, and have access to mute/un-mute participants, lock the Share tool, and more. The co-host may also select the Record icon on the meeting toolbar.
A co-host can only be assigned during a meeting. To assign host privileges to a participant before a meeting starts, you will need to assign an alternative host.
