Hosts and Co-Hosts can manage individual participants directly from the Participants tab in the Side Panel. Available actions depend on the participant’s role, permissions, and whether they are currently present in the session.

​
The Participant List

By default, participants are listed in the order they were added to the room. Role isn’t used to group or sort the list — instead, each Host or Co-Host’s role label is displayed next to their name/email, right in their row, so you can spot them at a glance without the list being reorganized around them.

Host

Full control over the room, including every option in this article.

Co-Host

Same permissions as a Host, with one exception: a Co-Host cannot remove or demote the Host.

Participant

A standard attendee, with read-only access to the participant list

​
View Filter

The View Filter narrows the participant list down to those matching a specific state. The active filter is marked with a checkmark, and the participant count updates alongside your selection.
  • All Participants — the default view. Every participant is shown, regardless of their current state.
  • Present — shows only participants who are currently in the room.
  • Absent — shows only participants who are invited but not actively present in the room.
  • Camera On — shows only participants whose camera is currently active.
  • Microphone On — shows only participants whose microphone is currently active.
  • Hidden — shows only participants currently hidden from the room.
  • Hand Raised — shows only participants who currently have their hand raised.
Search lets you jump straight to a specific participant in a large room.

​
Participant Management Menu

Open the menu beside a participant’s name to access the available management options.

Make Co-Host

Give another participant Host-level room management permissions. A Co-Host can assist with managing participants and the session, but cannot remove or demote the Host.You can demote a co-host by clicking **Make Participant. **

Reordering Participants

You can change a participant’s position in the list — and their tile position in the room layout — at any time.
  • Drag and drop — click and drag a participant’s row to a new position in the list.
  • Move to Top / Move to Bottom — available from the Participant Management Menu, these jump a participant straight to the first or last position.
Reordering updates the position for everyone in the room, not just your own view.

Microphone

Hosts and Co-Hosts can either turn off a participant’s microphone or disable their ability to use it.
  • Turn Off Microphone immediately mutes the participant. They can turn their microphone back on themselves afterward.
  • Disable Microphone prevents the participant from using their microphone. They cannot unmute themselves until a Host or Co-Host enables it again. When microphone access is enabled again, it returns to its previous state:
    • If the microphone was on when it was disabled, it turns back on.
    • If the microphone was off when it was disabled, it remains off.
Use Turn Off Microphone when you only want to mute someone temporarily. Use Disable Microphone when you do not want the participant to be able to unmute themselves.

Camera

Hosts and Co-Hosts can either turn off a participant’s camera or disable their ability to use it.
  • Turn Off Camera immediately stops the participant’s video. They can turn their camera back on themselves afterward.
  • Disable Camera prevents the participant from using their camera. They cannot turn it back on until a Host or Co-Host enables it again. When camera access is enabled again:
    • If the camera was on when it was disabled, it turns back on.
    • If the camera was off when it was disabled, it remains off.
Use Turn Off Camera when you only want to stop their video temporarily. Use Disable Camera when you do not want the participant to be able to turn their camera back on.

Hide Participant

Use Hide to remove a participant from the visible and audible room layout without disconnecting them from the session.A hidden participant:
  • Remains connected to the session.
  • Can continue watching and hearing the room.
  • Is not seen or heard by visible participants.
  • Can continue interacting through Chat.
Select Show to return the participant visible in the room.

Remove Participant

Select Remove to disconnect a participant from the active session and from the Participant list.You will be asked to confirm before they are removed.

​
Quick Icons

Next to each participant who is currently present, you’ll see a row of quick icons: a microphone icon, a camera icon, an eye icon, and a Private Chat icon. Each one doubles as a button, so you can act on it directly without opening the Participant Management Menu.
  • The microphone icon shows the participant’s current mic status. If their mic is on, clicking the icon turns it off — the same as selecting Turn Off Microphone.
  • The camera icon shows the participant’s current camera status. If their camera is on, clicking the icon turns it off — the same as selecting Turn Off Camera.
  • The eye icon shows the participant’s current visibility status. Clicking it hides or unhides the participant.
  • The Private Chat icon opens a direct conversation with that participant.
These icons only appear for participants who are present in the session, and only reflect and control their current state — not their permission to re-enable it. To prevent a participant from turning their own mic or camera back on, use Disable Microphone / Disable Camera from the Participant Management Menu instead.
