I. Intro

A meeting's host has access to all available management permissions, for instance the ability to mute other participants, control who can join the meeting and limiting who can share content.

You'll be the host if you schedule an event in advance or start a new meeting through the Meetings page. The host can also transfer host permissions to you before or during the meeting. A meeting can only have one designated host at a time.

The host can set co-hosts, granting them some management permissions. Multiple co-hosts can be set in a meeting.

Unlike hosts, co-hosts cannot set or cancel co-host permissions, cannot transfer host permissions, cannot approve record requests, and cannot end the meeting.
