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).
