Host

The host of a meeting plays a pivotal role in organizing, facilitating, and leading the gathering. This person or entity is responsible for setting the meeting agenda, coordinating logistics, inviting participants, and guiding the proceedings to achieve the meeting’s objectives. The host ensures that the meeting runs smoothly, adheres to time constraints, and maintains a productive atmosphere. In virtual meetings, the host often manages the technical aspects, such as muting/unmuting participants, screen sharing, and resolving technical issues. Effective hosting is essential for fostering engagement, managing discussions, and achieving desired outcomes in both in-person and virtual meetings.
