Add & Remove a Co-Host

Dialpad Meetings' co-host feature allows other participants to have organizer privileges during an active meeting.

Enable Co-Hosting

To enable co-hosting, head to your Dialpad Meetings dashboard:

1. Select to Settings 
2. Navigate to Allow Co-Hosts with Access to Organizer Controls 
3. Toggle the slider to Enabled

Not seeing this option? If you're part of a team, you may need to request that your Admin turns on co-hosting for the entire company.

Add or remove a co-host in a meeting

To add a one-time co-host to your meeting, select the Participants icon from your meeting bottom bar. 

1. Select the menu beside the desired co-host's name
2. Select Make a Co-Host

To remove a co-host, return to the same menu and select Remove Co-Host.

Add a designated co-host

Assign approved co-hosts to all your future meetings.

From the Dialpad Meetings dashboard, navigate to Settings and navigate to Approved Co-Hosts.

1. Select Add Co-Hosts
2. Enter names or email addresses for designated co-hosts
   • Keep in mind that they must be on the same team as you; designated co-hosts cannot come from outside the company

To remove a co-host, return to the same menu and select Edit. Choose the co-host to remove, then select the 'X' icon.

Co-Host controls

Co-host controls are identical to an organizer's Host Controls during a meeting.

Co-Hosts can:

• Start and stop recording
• Enable or disable Diapad Ai
• Lock a Meeting
• Edit the Meeting Title
• Mute Participants
• Remove Participants

Co-hosts can also access the transcript after the meeting ends, and they're able to access the audio recording if the organizer granted access to anyone with a link.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a maximum number of co-hosts?

Nope, add as many as you'd like!

Does a co-host have to be someone on my team?

If you're adding a one-time co-host during a meeting, you're able to choose any participants.

If you're setting a designated co-host for all your meetings, that user must be on your team.
