Add & Remove a Co-Host

You can add a co-host during a meeting or designate one for all your meetings.

Let's take a look at co-hosting in Dialpad Meetings.

Who can use this

You must be a Dialpad user to access Co-hosting, which is available to all Dialpad users on all plans. Refer to our Pricing Page to see if you have access to this feature. If you have any questions about your plan, reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Dialpad Customer Care.

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? > Toggle on

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's 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

   1. 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.
