Attending one meeting as participant and another as host

[stefank78756371]

When I use Adobe Connect as a guest - I just enter my name and enter the meeting. My name is stored in cookies - so now, when I come back to the login-page, I do not have to enter my name again.

The problem is: I have meetings that users attend as a participants and I also have meetings that some users should attend as a host.

I know that I can change user roles within the meeting - but that is not a proper solution.

Can I somehow stop Adobe Connect from storing my name as a cookie (without changing Browser-settings as this would be hard to tell all of my participants? Or any other workaround?

A possible solution would be to give all guest host-rights in specific meetings - is that possible?

If you want people to come in automatically as hosts, the best option is to have them login with a username and password.  If they sign in before the host arrives they will be participants, but when the host arrives, they will revert to their assigned roles.  There is no limit on how many are given host or presenter roles to a meeting, but a licensed user needs to be in the room for them to have full functionality unless the concurrent user model is deployed.

If you want to join the room twice, once with your login and once as a guest, you will need to join in two different browsers, or once in your normal browser and once in a private/incognito window.

This is because your login is stored as a cookie in your browser. So long as that cookie is valid, you will rejoin a Connect meeting as that user. Using a different browser or a private browsing window will use a different cache allowing you to join as a different user.
