Hosting meetings without desktop audio or camera

I have a pro account. I want to host meetings. I do not have audio on my desktop, can I call in as the host on the phone and manage my meetings that way? I also do not have a camera, but I have a photo and can see everyone in the room.  Thanks.

The host device is not REQUIRED to have audio or a camera to host a meeting. You can connect any device that does have audio and a camera to the meeting and make that device a co-host. As a co-host that device has most (but not all) of the host privileges. You can then admit people from the waiting from using either device. If the host device is a desktop with a large screen or multiple screens it can be easier to see the participants. You can also use the mobile app as a host, but it will be more complicated than a desktop client to view the participants or change settings.
