Webex Training Session Roles

There are four roles within Webex Training sessions, which are referenced below:

  • Host Role:  The host is the person who schedules, starts and ends the session and or recordings of the session.  A host can also assign roles to other participants in the session.  The host role can be reassigned once in a live session. 

  • Presenter: Responsible for sharing and annotating presentations, whiteboards, documents, and applications in a training session. There can only be one Presenter at any point during a session.

  • Panelist Role:  The panelist is a person who has been identified as a speaker or presenter within the live session.  A panelist can also assist presenters by, responding to chat messages, conduct polls, responding to questions in the Q & A panel. You can have multiple panelists in a session.

  • Attendee Role:  Any person attending the session who is not already identified as a presenter, panelist, or host. Attendees are typically who the session information is being presented to.
