WebEx stands out as a widely used video conferencing tool, which offers individuals the capability to conduct meetings and work collaboratively with others. A notable function of WebEx is the option to assign co-hosts for a meeting, an advantage for overseeing sizable gatherings or dividing duties throughout a presentation.
Step 1: Start a Meeting
To add a co-host to a WebEx meeting, you must first start the meeting. Once you have started the meeting, you will see a panel on your screen with various options and controls. Look for the “Participants” tab or button, which should be located near the top of the panel.
Step 2: Invite a Co-Host
Once you have accessed the “Participants” tab or button, you will see a list of all the participants in the meeting. To add a co-host, click on the “Invite” button and enter the email address of the person you want to invite as a co-host. You can also choose to send an invitation via text message or instant message if those options are available.
Step 3: Accept the Invitation
After you have invited someone to be a co-host, they will receive an email or notification with instructions on how to join the meeting. Once they have joined the meeting, they will see a panel similar to yours with various options and controls. Look for the “Host” button or tab, which should be located near the top of the panel.
Step 4: Grant Co-Host Privileges
Once you have confirmed that your co-host has joined the meeting, click on the “Host” button or tab and select “Grant Host Privileges” from the drop-down menu. This will give your co-host the ability to manage the meeting, including starting and ending the call, muting participants, and sharing their screen.
Step 5: Conclude the Meeting
Once you have finished the meeting, be sure to end it properly by clicking on the “End” button or tab. This will ensure that all participants are disconnected from the call and that any recordings or files shared during the meeting are saved.
Conclusion
Adding a co-host to a WebEx meeting can be a useful way to manage large groups or share responsibilities during a presentation. By following these simple steps, you can easily add a co-host to your next WebEx meeting and ensure that it runs smoothly.
