You can move any participant to the lobby, except for the presenter. You can’t move the participant with the presenter role, even if they're not currently sharing.

You can't move participants who join the meeting by phone only.

This feature is available on our Webex Suite meeting platform. Find out if your meetings use the Webex Suite meeting platform.
