Moderating participants

Where: In a live session → People → “⋯” next to a name

As host or presenter you decide who speaks. Participants switch their camera on themselves, and their microphone only once you allow it. The media server enforces this: without the right to speak, nobody can unmute themselves.

  • The “People” list: Search by name and filter: who is here, has a hand raised, may speak, presents, is in a room or has left. Raised hands come first. On the right, icons show who is presenting and who may speak; the dot on the picture, who is here right now.
  • Allow to speak / Take back the right to speak: Unlocks the microphone or takes it back (which mutes it). For a raised hand, “Allow to speak” sits right next to the name.
  • Mute: Mutes the microphone now. They may unmute again themselves.
  • Mute and lock: Mutes and takes back the right to speak, so they can’t unmute themselves.
  • Turn camera off: Switches the camera off. Only the person can switch it on again – nobody can do that for them.
  • Make presenter: Host only: they present with camera, microphone and screen, and moderate too.
  • Remove from the session: Disconnects them right away. They can’t join this session again.
