Host a meeting and manage participants

Start or schedule

Open Meetings and create a meeting. Set its title and schedule, then share the guest invitation. Hosting requires a plan with meeting creation enabled.

Manage participants

Open the participant list to review attendees. As host, use the available controls to admit waiting guests, mute participants, manage roles, or remove an attendee. Review your waiting room and screen-sharing policy before an event.

Collaboration

Depending on administrator settings and your plan, the toolbar can include polls, whiteboards, shared notes, breakout rooms, captions, and shared files. Some controls appear only to moderators.

End the session deliberately when everyone is finished. Closing your browser tab may leave other participants in the room.
