in response to receiving the third sub-meeting control input, generating, by the videoconferencing system, a fourth sub-meeting control input configured to perform the additional command, the fourth sub-meeting control input being automatically generated by the videoconferencing system on behalf of the host; and

executing, by the videoconferencing system, the fourth sub-meeting control input and discarding the third sub-meeting control input.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

after generating the second sub-meeting control input, discarding the first sub-meeting control input.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

inserting, by the videoconferencing system, the second sub-meeting control input into a host command queue associated with the host of the main videoconferencing meeting; and

executing, by the videoconferencing system, the second sub-meeting control input from the host command queue as if the action originated from the host.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the action comprises moving a participant from the sub-meeting to the main videoconferencing meeting.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the videoconferencing system, a notification of the action to the participant; and

receiving, by the videoconferencing system, an acceptance of the action from the participant.

8. A system comprising:

a processor; and

at least one memory device including instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to:

establish a main videoconferencing meeting, the main videoconferencing meeting including a plurality of participants;

establish a host and a co-host of the main videoconferencing meeting, the host participating in the main videoconferencing meeting from a first client device and the co-host participating in the main videoconferencing meeting from a second client device;

receive a first sub-meeting control input from the second client device of the co-host to perform an action with respect to a sub-meeting associated with the main videoconferencing meeting;

in response to receiving the first sub-meeting control input and prior to performing the action, generate a second sub-meeting control input to perform the action, the second sub-meeting control input being automatically generated by the system on behalf of the host and identifying the action to be performed with respect to the sub-meeting; and

execute the second sub-meeting control input to perform the action with respect to the sub-meeting.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the action comprises starting the sub-meeting, moving a participant into the sub-meeting, moving the participant out of the sub-meeting, or ending the sub-meeting.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to cause the processor to:

establish a second co-host associated with the main videoconferencing meeting, the second co-host participating in the main videoconferencing meeting from a third client device;

receive a third sub-meeting control input from the third client device, the third sub-meeting control input identifying an additional command to perform with respect to the sub-meeting associated with the main videoconferencing meeting;

in response to receiving the third sub-meeting control input, generate a fourth sub-meeting control input configured to perform the additional command, the fourth sub-meeting control input being automatically generated by the system on behalf of the host; and

execute the fourth sub-meeting control input and discard the third sub-meeting control input.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to cause the processor to:

after generating the second sub-meeting control input, discard the first sub-meeting control input.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to cause the processor to:

insert the second sub-meeting control input into a host command queue associated with the host of the main videoconferencing meeting; and

execute the second sub-meeting control input from the host command queue as if the action originated from the host.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first client device and the second client device are configured to transmit a request to move a participant from the sub-meeting to the main videoconferencing meeting.

14. The system of claim 13 , further comprising a network services server configured to transmit a notification of the request to and receive an acceptance of the request from the participant.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code that is executable by a processor for causing the processor to:

establish a main videoconferencing meeting, the main videoconferencing meeting including a plurality of participants;

establish a host and a co-host of the main videoconferencing meeting, the host participating in the main videoconferencing meeting from a first client device and the co-host participating in the main videoconferencing meeting from a second client device;

receive a first sub-meeting control input from the second client device of the co-host to perform an action with respect to a sub-meeting associated with the main videoconferencing meeting;

in response to receiving the first sub-meeting control input and prior to performing the action, generate a second sub-meeting control input configured to perform the action, the second sub-meeting control input being automatically generated on behalf of the host and identifying the action to be performed with respect to the sub-meeting; and

execute the second sub-meeting control input to perform the action with respect to the sub-meeting.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the action comprises starting the sub-meeting, moving a participant into the sub-meeting, moving the participant out of the sub-meeting, or ending the sub-meeting.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the code is executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
