Only the Host can control the Host System, unless the Host grants permission when a Participant requests
control. The Host can also give control to any Participant by selecting the Participant from the Meeting
Members list. Only one Participant can control the Host System at any one time. When a Participant
takes control of the Host System, he loses control as soon as the Host moves his mouse pointer on the
screen. The meeting control permission state is visible to all Participants while in the lobby.
• Participant
(User with credentials to join the meeting) - A Participant must enter a meeting code before
they can join a meeting. The code required to join the meeting is determined by the Coordinator prior to
the meeting. After joining a meeting, the Participant can view the shared desktop and chat with another
attendee privately or type a message in the Chat window that is visible to all attendees. A Participant
becomes the Assistant if selected by the Coordinator or by an Assistant who has the required privilege.
• View-only Participant
(User with limited meeting capabilities) - The Coordinator can designate any
Participant as a View-only Participant. A View-only Participant cannot be assigned any privileges nor
become an Assistant or Host.
Roles are switched before or during a meeting. A Coordinator or Assistant with necessary privileges can change
the roles of any Participant during the meeting. A Participant wishing to become the Host must request
permission from the Coordinator.
