Hosts and co-hosts
Share the work with co-hosts, or hand the host role to someone else entirely.
You're the host of anything you create. From there you can bring in others.
You're the host by default. Add co-hosts from this ring, or hand the host role to someone else.
Adding a co-host
In Hosts & co-hosts, search by name — the search covers members of the ring and the organization, so the person needs to be in your community before you can add them.
Added people appear under Selected hosts, labelled Host or Co-host.
Handing over the host role
Make [name] the primary host transfers it. They become Host and you drop to Co-host.
This is the one to use when you set something up for someone else to run, or when you're stepping back from a series you started. You don't lose access — you just stop being the person it belongs to.
Removing someone
Remove takes them off. One rule applies:
An event needs at least one host.
You can't remove the last one. If you're leaving, hand the role over first, then remove yourself.
What co-hosts can do
Co-hosts share the running of the event: editing details, managing attendees, checking people in, and handling tickets if the event sells them.
Practically, that means a co-host can cover the door while you're setting up, answer the questions you're too busy to see, and keep things going if you can't make it.
Who to add
Add a co-host for any event where your absence would be a problem. A co-host costs nothing and solves the awkward case where a host is ill on the morning of an event and nobody else can change anything.
For recurring series, this matters more. A year is a long time for one person to never be away.
How hosts appear
Attendees see Hosted by with everyone listed, each marked Host or Co-host. Messages sent through Message organizers reach all of you, and any of you can answer.
