Set up host controls and assign co-hosts ahead of meetings in Google Calendar
Wednesday, April 20, 2022
Quick summary
In addition to setting up Google Meet breakout rooms in advance in Google Calendar, meeting organizers can also:
- Turn meeting safety features on or off, such as chat lock, present lock, and more.
- Designate co-hosts before the meeting.
We hope that by allowing meeting hosts to pre-configure additional settings and assign co-hosts, meetings can flow more smoothly.
Getting started
- Admins: Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing Meet safety settings and Host Management.
- End users: To configure host control and co-host options when scheduling a meeting in Google Calendar, select “Add Google Meet video conferencing” > “Video call options” (gear icon) > Host controls or Co-hosts.
Rollout pace
- Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on April 20, 2022
