There are certain functions and features on FLOOR which the organizer often does not want a host to have access to. Host is basically the moderator at the event so his access should be restricted to only the event's session activities on FLOOR.

The HOST is the one who is on "stage" with the speakers, hosting and moderating the entire Event. 

Find below what can you do as a Host on FLOOR :

There is a digital handout bag link at the top right of your screen. All the handouts uploaded by you at event level and viewed by you from any session would show here. You can manage the handouts from here as well.

This option will let you know your internet strength, your camera and microphone settings. If all is well and still you face any issues, you may click on reboot.

On the right hand of your screen you have multiple session activities options as below:
