Co-Host in Google Meet - New Feature!

[@jekaterinaburaja5342]

Hi - thank you a lot :) However, I don't see the option as a co-hosts in the video call options when I create a calendar invite

Maybe your Google Workspace license doesn't provide that feature. Check this list to see the details: workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2022/04/assign-cohosts-configure-host-controls-in-calendar.html

@@saperis Thank you for sharing the link :) It is mentioned it is available to user with a personal Google account.

I have enabled host management, but there is no option to add co-host.

[@saperis]

Is the person you want to appoint as co-host, in the call with you?

[@georgettehoyah4911]

@@saperis Yes. Does it matter if they are from outside of your organization? They have a personal gmail account.

@@georgettehoyah4911 So A) host management can be disabled by your Google Workspace account and B) it might not work with free Google accounts.

@@saperis I have the Business Starter account but it looks like that simply feature is only available with an additional upgrade.

Does the host have to be on the call if they assign a co-host?

[@saperis]

Yes, the host has to be in the meeting to make someone else co-host. See more details: support.google.com/meet/answer/10885841?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid

[@MRMRahmatullahTaky]

I can't find co host. I already turn on host management.
