1 Roles

Webex Meetings has the following roles.

Host
They can start / end a meeting and assign users to “Presenter. ”
They can also mute / unmute microphones of participants, but participants can cancel it themselves.
Cohosts

Compared to the host, you can't control the recording and start of the event, but the rest is pretty much the same.
Presenter

Participants
They can mute / unmute the microphone and send the camera image. They can chat with other participants and the host.
