About Bridgit meeting roles

When you create a Bridgit meeting, you become the meeting’s owner and can define many of the characteristics of the meeting. When you attend a meeting, you can be a presenter or a participant. The presenter is the person who is currently sharing his or her desktop. A participant can see and draw on the shared desktop, hear and talk in a meeting and view webcams only if the owner or presenter enabled these features.

Owner

The meeting’s owner is the person who created the meeting on the Bridgit server. The owner can do the following:

• Adjust the meeting settings.

• Adjust audio optimization.

• Take over desktop sharing.

• Draw on the desktop, talk in a meeting and share webcams, even if the presenter disabled these features for other participants.

• Disconnect all users and end the meeting.
