The ClickMeeting platform allows you to host your events by yourself or invite other users as presenters to help you run your virtual meetings or conferences. Please remember, however, that there are differences between the role of the host and the presenter.
A host is also called the account owner who has access to the account panel and its billing details and can manage the account settings as well as the add-ons. The billing details or the add-ons can only be viewed and purchased by the host. As the host, you can schedule the events and provide any changes convenient to them.
In the event room, there is always one seat available for the host who can decide who is going to receive the presenter’s rights, for instance, via sending an email invitation, link, or assigning the presenter’s role to a chosen person in the event room. You can always take away the presenter’s rights from the presenters and make them attendees. It is not obligatory for the host to join every event; the presenters can start the event on their own.
A presenter is a person who is invited to an event by a host (the account owner) via individual email invitation or a link. The rights and the access to options available in the event room are the same for the presenter as for the host. Webinars and meetings can be started and finished also by the presenter – the host does not have to be present in the event room to do this.
The number of seats available for the presenters is dependent on the plan the account owner (host) decides to purchase. It can only be increased by the host who can purchase the Presenters’ seats add-on. Additional seats for the presenters are available only in webinars, and they do not increase the default number of cameras and audio streams. In webinars, you can have a maximum of 8 cameras and microphones enabled at the same time.
The presenter has no access to the account panel, but only to the event room to which he received the email invitation. After the event is over, the presenter will receive a Thank-you email where he can find basic statistics from the conference. It is not advised to share the presenter’s link with any other person due to losing the possibility to join the event room.
