Add co-organizers for webinars

Add co-organizers

A webinar co-organizer holds most of the controls available in the event. They can be a part of practice sessions, view attendee lists, handle Q&A, polls, and recording and more. You can add anyone as a co-organizer for your webinar. Co-organizers who are members of your organization will also be able to start webinars if the organizer is away, or unable to launch webinars. 
 
A webinar co-organizer can:
  • Start a webinar (if they belong to your organization)
  • Join during practice session
  • Start the broadcast 
  • Become a presenter
  • Mute and unmute themselves 
  • Start and stop their own video 
  • Record the webinar
  • Answer questions from attendees
  • Assign questions to organizer or co-organizers
  • Launch polls
  • Switch presenters 
  • End the Webinar
InfoThe 'Add multiple Co-organizer's' feature is only available in trial and paid versions of Zoho Webinar.
