Add Co-hosts in Google Meet
When Host Management is turned on, meeting hosts can use the following safety features: chat lock, present lock, end meeting for all, and mute everyone.
- Host Management might be on or off by default. Host Management can be turned on or off from inside a meeting.
- For a meeting participant to become a co-host, they must be in the meeting.
- Co-hosts can turn Host Management off. 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.
