You can allow an attendee to speak and appear on camera during a Live Webinar by making them a Co-Host. Once promoted to Co-Host, they will have microphone and camera access and can actively participate in the session.

Note: This feature is available only in Live Webinars. It is not supported in Automated/Evergreen webinars.

Steps to Make an Attendee a Co-Host

  1. Start your Live Webinar.

  2. In the attendee list, locate the participant you want to bring on screen.

  3. Click on the attendee’s name to open the action menu.
