The acting host - the person who created the meeting or, if that person isn't present, the first alternative host to join the meeting - can make anyone else in a meeting *co-host or host. If s/he makes someone else the host, s/he will lose host access.
*There is no limit to the number co-hosts in a meeting, but there is only one acting host.
Host: Elevate a participant to co-host or host
- Either the host or an alternative host, start the meeting as the host
- In the meeting controls, click Participants
- In the Participants list, hold your mouse over the name of the participant and select More
- Select Make Co-Host OR select Make Host
Note: If you make someone else host, you are no longer the host of the current meeting as there can only be one acting host - Once a participant has been made a co-host (or host), they'll have access to the co-host (or host) controls.
