# CoHost

Publisher can assign host privilege to viewers who are online.

### Overview

Using the instructions below, a publisher may now share hosting duties with a secondary user. This will allow the cohost to create and delete guest links, and manage who is allowed or not allowed into the stream room.

### How to Assign a CoHost

1. Click the **Publisher Panel** icon.
