The participants modal allows everybody to see who’s present in the meeting, but it's especially useful for Hosts and Assistants who can easily manage the audience from here. Everything from muting/unmuting, adding to Spotlight, or appointing assistants is possible from here.
❌ To remove a participant from your session, click on More options (⋮) next to an attendee’s name → Remove from session. If you want to ban the participant from re-entering the session, check the Permanently ban box. If you just want to kick out a participant, leave this box unchecked and click Remove. The participant will be able to enter the session again later on.
