Unassigned OGLs and other OGLs (sub buddy/alternate host), AOTs, and OTs may substitute for the OGL.
How Substitute Hosting works:
- Every meeting has its own pair of meeting links
- A Host (or “Start Meeting”) link for the leader to host the meeting
- A Join Meeting link for participants to attend the meeting
- The Substitute Leader must use the absent leader's Host (Start Meeting) link; NOT their own
Online Group Leaders (OGLs) can have a Substitute Host lead their weekly discussion groups when they are unable to. Please follow the directions below:
- Copy your “Start Meeting” (or Host Meeting) link
- Send the copied link to the Substitute*
- The Substitute Leader clicks on the received link to Start the meeting**
- Meeting participants do nothing different from normal
*The substituting leader must be a leader with a Host License.
**By copying and sharing the link on your My Group (OGL) page, you are sharing the Host capabilities with your fellow leader. Please read these Support articles for more information:
