Hosting, attending and presenting

There are three main roles during remote meetings: hosting, attending and presenting.

  • The host is the person who ‘owns’ the meeting: who sets it up, controls the attendees’ ability to speak or participate, and ends the meeting. They will also decide on the platform being used for the meeting.
  • The attendees include everyone attending the meeting. They may watch and listen, or actively participate.
  • Presenters are those making a presentation at a meeting.
