What the duty of co-host? I need to understand the role.

[bsanevans]

Great question, @devmuhib009 👍 The Training Team has a guide that describes the role: https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/online-workshops/co-hosting-an-online-workshop/

In this particular workshop, I'm looking for someone to:

• keep an eye on the chat while I'm talking
• answer questions from users if they come in
• Record the maximum number of participants that join the session
• Remove someone from the call if they do not follow the code of conduct

The workload should be very light for the co-host in this workshop, and would be a great one to start in. As you are a Faculty member, you do not need to go through the application/vetting process. Let me know here if you're interested in the opportunity 😄

[devmuhib009]

Yes, I am interested.

Thanks for volunteering, @devmuhib009 🙌 I've noted your name in GitHub.

Please also sign up on Meetup.com. I'll then be able to set you as a co-host there, too.
