co-hosting

Co-hosting describes a scenario with more than one host. All hosts can interact with each other. The audience can hear and see these hosts.

There are two possible scenarios:

• Co-hosting in a channel. It can either be multiple hosts joining a channel, or an audience switching user role and becoming a co-host when another host is already present.
• Co-hosting across channels. The Agora RTC SDK supports relaying the media stream of a host in one channel to other channels. For details, see Co-host across Channels.

For the maximum number of co-hosts possible in a channel, see How many users can Agora RTC SDK support at the same time? A channel with too many co-hosts may cause network latency and packet loss. Refer to Video for 7+ Users to ensure communication quality.
