2. How to assign a Co-host?

A co-host can be assigned in two ways :

The community manager or Community team member (Event Manager) can be made a co-host.

Steps to add a co-host from the dashboard:-

Step 1: Go to the dashboard and choose or create an event where you want to add a co-host.
(airmeet.com >Sign in> Dashboard > Events > Choose Event > Click on the event > Enter dashboard)

Step 2: Go to the Sessions tab > Sessions List, click on +Add schedule item, select the type of session, and fill in the session details.

Step 3: While creating/editing a session, add a co-host by clicking on the + Add Co-host option in the pop-up.

Step 4: Choose your Community team members (Event Manager) by selecting them from the list, adding them as co-hosts, and clicking on Save.

Step 2: Click on the three-dot option from the middle bottom of the screen and choose the Manage Co-Hosts option from the menu.

4. Points to Keep in mind while adding a Co-host from the Backstage

• If the Community team member (Event Manager) is the host/speaker/co-host for another parallel session, making them co-host won't be possible.

• To make an attendee a co-host, the host, or another co-host, calls the attendee on stage using the invite to stage feature and then makes them a co-host backstage.

• Community team members (Event Manager) do NOT need to be backstage to be made co-hosts (only speakers).

• The attendee joining as a Guest/without login cannot be made co-host.

• Co-host details would not be shown on the event landing page & on the session agenda tab during the event.

• If the co-host of an ongoing session disconnects and rejoins the event, they would directly enter the LIVE SESSION.
