Hi @jonathanbossenger, I'm will to Co-host with you. Would you please let me know what I should do?

Hi @joshwinny

If you haven't read it already, here are some general guidelines around co-hosting https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/online-workshops/co-hosting-an-online-workshop/.

From my perspective the most important tasks I need from a co-host are:

• Once the workshop has started, and the recording is going, admit any latecomers into the Zoom meeting
• Keep an eye on the chat, and let me know if I miss any important questions
• About halfway through, take a head count of the participants
• Keep an ear out for any folks who have background noise coming through their mics, and mute them

Let me know if this works for you, and I can add you as a co-host.

Thank you Jonathan, I'm in.
