Roles in Webex Events
The Host has control over every aspect of the event and can change the roles of people in the meeting at any time.
The Presenter can share their screen. There can only be one Presenter at a time, by default it is the Host. The Presenter role can be passed to any Panelist.
Panelists have the ability to share audio and video and are visible to all attendees.
Attendees cannot unmute their microphones or share their video unless the host unmutes their microphone for them or promotes them to a Panelist.
Change the Role of a Panelist
- In the Participants window, Hover over your selected panelist and click on the three dots to the right. From here, you can give the Panelist the ability to share their screen (Presenter), give them Host or Cohost permissions, or demote them to an Attendee.
Change the Role of an Attendee
- In the Participants window, click View All.
- A pop-up will appear displaying all of the Attendees. Select the three dots next to an attendee and click Make Panelist.
