Although it is not a good practice to have meetings without hosts, Webex sites may be configured to allow attendees to join meetings before the host. To prevent any unauthorized access, Webex automatically ends the meetings at a predefined time if the host does not join.
A meeting cannot begin unless a host starts the meeting. If for some reason the host cannot start the meeting then the meeting cannot take place for anyone (participants). It may be advantageous to designate an alternate host. Only a UW Madison Webex Meetings account holder can be selected as an alternate host.
How can I add a co-host to a WebEx Meeting?
I think that the solution for your need is as follows. As an administrator, you can allow hosts to designate a cohost or an alternate host in Webex Meetings and Webex Events. Hosts can then have that person or a video system user start the meeting in their place if they’re running late or can’t attend.
Can I let someone else start a WebEx Meeting without me?
If you want to let someone else start a meeting without you, you can let someone else be an alternate host. You can do this for Webex -scheduled or Personal Room meetings, and if you join later, you’ll become the host automatically. You can only use this feature if the Webex site is managed in or linked to Control Hub.
Also, how do I allow PCN attendees to join a WebEx Meeting?
One frequent answer is, with ‘Join before Host’ disabled (recommended), a host must dial the Webex Access number for the audio bridge and enter the host access code and Audio PIN before attendees can join the meeting. By default, the setting to allow PCN attendees to join before the host is disabled, and can only be enabled in Site Administration.
How do I enable audio on a Cisco WebEx Meeting?
