What’s changing
Client-side encrypted meetings are now getting support for using the co-hosts feature. This means that an organizer can plan and book client-side encrypted video meetings on behalf of other users and assign those as co-hosts to allow them to join and open the meetings independently from the organizer. Client-side encrypted meetings differ from point-to-point encrypted meetings in the way they always require a host to join first. This task can now be delegated and shared between multiple users without the organizer ever joining the call.

- Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) beginning on March 6, 2023 with anticipated completion by March 13, 2024.
Note: This feature is only available on the web as planning meetings with co-hosts can only be done on a computer.
