About Moderators
Anyone who schedules or starts a meeting defaults as the moderator. There can only be one moderator per meeting. Another person might become the moderator, if you transfer or schedule a meeting on someone else's calendar.
Moderators receive notifications for hands raised in the order they’re raised. After a participant speaks or asks a question, you can lower their hand so others can speak.
