The host key gives you more privileges than other participants. For example, you can record the meeting, mute or unmute participants, and end the meeting.

Note the following about using the host key:

  • You can use the host key to take over the host role only if the host selects the Join before host option when they schedule the meeting.
  • If the original host joins the meeting later, they automatically reclaim the host role in the meeting.
  • You can't reclaim the host role if the original host scheduled the meeting in their Personal Room.

Ця функція доступна на нашій платформі для нарад у межах пакету Webex. Find out if your meetings use the Webex Suite meeting platform.
