Step by step
- Host
Opens a participant's tile menu and chooses Role in this meeting, then Make co-host.
What they see:The role changes in place and is remembered for next time.
- Co-host
Mutes a noisy participant and admits a latecomer.
What they see:Both work; the co-host cannot touch the host.
- Host
Hands the host role to the co-host before leaving early.
What they see:The co-host now holds the host badge.
- Co-host (now host)
Presses End for everyone at the close.
What they see:A confirmation names how many will be disconnected; a running recording is stopped and kept.
Who is told what
Role changes show in the People list and the meeting timeline; the demoted person sees their new badge.
