Before a meeting
In order to assign a role, a meeting must first be scheduled. To schedule a meeting, see Schedule a meeting. Once a meeting is scheduled, the following steps allow one to assign roles to attendees:
- In Microsoft Teams, click on the calendar symbol on the left side of the screen.
- Double click on the meeting that was created, in order to open a new page.
- Click "Meeting options"
- Under "Who can present?" there are a few options which allows one to assign roles
- Everyone: Assigns the presenter role to everyone who joins the meeting.
- People in my organization: If you are a member of an organization (Such as the University of Waterloo) only attendees who are also part of that same organization are given presenter privileges.
- Specific people: Allows one to choose who will be given presenter privileges from a list of attendees.
- Only me: Only you, the organizer, will have presenter privileges. All other attendees will not be presenter.
