Can someone else host a webinar and answer Q & A in my absence?

[katmh21]

f I create/set up a webinar, can someone else host it for me in my absence? What about their ability to run the Q & A session? Do they need any special permissions or instructions?

There is a 2-day webinar I host that is typically split into two days because of two topics being presented.  I also monitor the Q & A for each day associated with the webinar/invites. The idea presented recently was to make it a 1 day format, but I cannot be in two places at the same time.  If I created two webinar invites, could I host/monitor one and then assign the other one to be hosted/monitored by another person?

We need the webinar format and not meetings. Breakout session would be ideal, but that's only for meetings and not webinar. Also, the issue of needing to monitor both sessions would still be an issue in breakout session. I cannot monitor Q & A for both times/sessions.

@katmh21 You will only be able to host 1 webinar at a time scheduled under the same user account. Meaning that you will need to have someone else schedule and be the host for the other webinar. 

If you were just hosting one and were not able to be present, you could designate an alternative host who could start the webinar and run it as host on your behalf, but you can't run two webinars at the same time scheduled by the same person.
