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.
