Webex App | Make someone else the meeting host

Those who join a Webex planned meeting, Personal Room meeting, or enhanced meeting associated with a space using the Webex App have the ability to change the host of the meeting to another participant. You might have an emergency that requires you to leave the meeting early, or you might prefer someone else to take control of the group while you speak or give a presentation. Anyone who joined the meeting through the Webex App, Webex Meetings, or an unpaired Cisco Webex room device is eligible to take up the hosting responsibilities.

Webex scheduled meetings and Personal Room meetings

When you make someone else the host, you are giving them permission to do the following:

  • Add or remove people

  • Mute or unmute people

  • Lock or unlock the meeting

  • Record the meeting

  • End the meeting

You can appoint another person as cohost if you wish to delegate the responsibility of starting a meeting to someone else. If you come in later, you’ll find that you’re instantly promoted to host status.

When you are making arrangements for your meeting, you also have the option of designating someone else to act as the host.

Enhanced meetings associated with a space

Within Webex for Government, the upgraded experience is not currently accessible to users.

Just make sure that the individual you want to act as the host is someone who is already employed by your company and who already possesses an account on the website from which the meeting will be organized that comes with host capabilities.

Make someone else a cohost of the event if you want their assistance in managing the meeting.

If your Webex site administrator uses Control Hub to manage your Webex site, then you will have access to this feature. Both the account you use for Webex Meetings and the account used by the person you want to host the meeting need to be linked to your respective Webex App accounts.

You have the option to choose whether to remain in the meeting after assigning a new host or to exit the meeting altogether.
