As of June 2021, a new Google Meet update allows adding co-hosts. This long-expected feature has finally arrived, and the platform is now ready for a new school year. In addition to teachers, teacher assistants can also host the meeting and share almost the same privileges. The feature can be enabled by tweaking the so-called Host Management option. Once Host Management is turned on, some Workspace hosts can add up to 25 co-hosts to a Google Meet. These Workspaces include business standard, business plus, essentials, enterprise essentials, enterprise standard, enterprise plus, and Workspace for education editions. You can turn Host Management on while you’re in the meeting, and a person can become a co-host once they enter the event. Also, you can't appoint a person as a co-host while they're in a Breakout Room. They need to go back to the main room to get hosting privileges. Here's how to turn on Host Management on a PC: 1. Join a meeting and click on "Meeting Safety." 2. A side panel will appear. Switch on the "Host Management" toggle. 3. You can switch it off by toggling again. To add a co-host, proceed with the following steps on a PC: 1. While you're in a meeting, click on the "Show everyone" icon from the bottom right-hand. 2. Search for a person you wish to assign co-host duties to from the participants' list. 3. Click on the three vertical dots next to their name. 4. Choose "Grant host controls." 5. They will now see the Meeting safety icon show at the bottom of their screen. If you want to turn on host management on your Android and iPhone devices, follow the steps below: 1. While in a meeting, tap on the three vertical dots (Menu.) 2. Navigate to "Meeting safety" and switch Host Management on. To add or remove a co-host via your Android or iPhone device, do the following: 1. Tap the screen of a meeting. 2. Tap on the meeting name from the upper left-hand corner. 3. Find a person you wish to make co-host from the "People" tab. 4. Tap on the three vertical dots next to their name and select "Add as co-host." Note: At the time of writing (August 2021), the Host Management feature still hasn't rolled out to all accounts. It's expected to do so soon, however.
