Webex scheduled meetings and Personal Room meetings

When you make someone else the host, you're letting them:

  • Add or remove people

  • Mute or unmute people

  • Lock or unlock the meeting

  • Record the meeting

  • End the meeting

If you want to let someone else start a meeting without you, you can let someone else be cohost. If you join later, you’ll become the host automatically.

And if you want to assign someone else as the host when you're scheduling your meeting, see Webex App | Schedule a meeting from the meetings calendar.

Enhanced meetings associated with a space

The enhanced experience isn't yet available in Webex for Government.

Just make sure the person you want to be the host is someone who's internal to your organization and has an account with host privileges on the site where the meeting is scheduled from.
