A session can have multiple moderators but only one active presenter at a time.
Assign the Presenter Role
Transfer the presenter role to allow another user to control slides, share their screen, or run polls:- Click on a user in the user list and select Make presenter
- The current presenter automatically becomes a viewer
- You can take back the presenter role at any time
Promote and Demote Users
Moderators can change a user’s role during the session:- Promote a viewer to moderator — gives them user management capabilities
- Demote a moderator to viewer — removes management permissions
- Remove a user — eject them from the session entirely
Co-Teaching Setup
For sessions with multiple instructors:- Have both instructors join as moderators
- Assign the presenter role to whoever is actively teaching
- Swap the presenter role as needed throughout the session
- Both moderators retain the ability to manage users, breakout rooms, and recording regardless of who is presenting
