Host controls

Manage roles, turn off someone's mic and camera, remove people, and choose whether to leave or end a Glow Meetings meeting for everyone.

As the host, you manage who's in the meeting and what they can do. Open People to see everyone, then select the menu next to a person's name.

Roles#

  • Host — the person who started the meeting.
  • Co-host — can admit people from the waiting room, turn off someone's mic and camera, remove people and end the meeting.
  • Participant — can talk, share video and their screen, chat and react.
  • Attendee — can watch, chat and raise their hand, but can't turn on a mic or camera.

The host can change roles with Make co-host, Remove co-host, Make participant and Make attendee.

Turn off someone's mic and camera#

Select Turn off mic & camera for a person. They see "The host turned off your mic and camera" and can still watch, chat and raise a hand. In the people list they're marked Can't speak.

To let them speak again, select Allow mic & camera. They're told they can turn their mic on.

Remove someone#

  1. Select Remove from meeting next to their name.
  2. Optionally tick Also lock the meeting.
  3. Confirm.

They leave right away and can't rejoin this meeting with the same link. Everyone stays encrypted — the keys change as soon as they're out.

Manage hands#

When people raise their hands, they're listed under Hands raised in order. Select Lower all hands to clear them.

Leaving as a host#

When you select Leave, you can choose:

  • Stay — go back to the meeting.
  • Leave — leave and let the meeting continue. You can rejoin while it's still running.
  • End for everyone — everyone is disconnected and the link stops working for guests. You'll be asked to confirm.

If you're the only host or co-host, Glow Meetings warns you that the meeting will end a few minutes after you leave unless someone else is made co-host. Select Make someone co-host to hand over.

If no host or co-host is left, everyone sees a countdown: "No host or co-host is here — this meeting ends in …".

End a meeting from your Meetings page#

For a live meeting you started, open More actions on your Meetings page and choose End for everyone.
