MODERATOR CHANGE FOR AN EXISTING MEETING INVITE
The technology disclosed herein enables the moderator of a meeting invite to be changed to a different moderator. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, in a meeting control system, receiving a first request to change a moderator of a first meeting invite. The first meeting invite includes two or more participants and the two or more participants include a first moderator indicated for the first meeting invite. In response to determining that the first request is associated with a user allowed to change the moderators of the first meeting invite, the method provides modifying the first meeting invite to indicate a second moderator for the first meeting invite and including the second moderator in the two or more participants.
1 . A method for changing moderators of a meeting invite, the method comprising:
in a meeting control system:
receiving a first request to change a moderator of a first meeting invite, wherein the first meeting invite includes two or more participants, and wherein the two or more participants include a first moderator indicated for the first meeting invite;
in response to determining that the first request is associated with a user allowed to change the moderators of the first meeting invite, modifying the first meeting invite to indicate a second moderator for the first meeting invite; and
including the second moderator in the two or more participants.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
synchronizing the first meeting invite with endpoints of the two or more participants.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
notifying the two or more participants about the second moderator.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
establishing a first communication session between respective endpoints of the two or more participants.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
after modifying the first meeting invite, removing the first moderator from the two or more participants of the first meeting invite.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, after modifying the first meeting invite, the first meeting invite indicates both the first moderator and the second moderator are the moderators for the first meeting invite.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
before modifying the first meeting invite, receiving confirmation of the first request from the second moderator.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

11 . An apparatus for a meeting control system to change moderators of a meeting invite, the apparatus comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media;
a processing system operatively coupled with the one or more computer readable storage media; and
program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media that, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to:
receive a first request to change a moderator of a first meeting invite, wherein the first meeting invite includes two or more participants, and wherein the two or more participants include a first moderator indicated for the first meeting invite;
in response to determining that the first request is associated with a user allowed to change the moderators of the first meeting invite, modify the first meeting invite to indicate a second moderator for the first meeting invite; and
include the second moderator in the two or more participants.
12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions further direct the processing system to:
synchronize the first meeting invite with endpoints of the two or more participants.
13 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions further direct the processing system to:
notify the two or more participants about the second moderator.
14 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions further direct the processing system to:
establish a first communication session between respective endpoints of the two or more participants.
15 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions further direct the processing system to:
after the first meeting invite is modified, remove the first moderator from the two or more participants of the first meeting invite.
16 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein, after the first meeting invite is modified, the first meeting invite indicates both the first moderator and the second moderator are the moderators for the first meeting invite.
17 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions further direct the processing system to:
before the first meeting invite is modified, receive confirmation of the first request from the second moderator.
18 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the program instructions further direct the processing system to:
provide moderator-level permissions for accessing the first meeting invite to the second moderator.
19 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the user is the first moderator.
20 . One or more computer readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon for changing moderators of a meeting invite, the program instructions, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to:
receive a first request to change a moderator of a first meeting invite, wherein the first meeting invite includes two or more participants, and wherein the two or more participants include a first moderator indicated for the first meeting invite;
in response to determining that the first request is associated with a user allowed to change the moderators of the first meeting invite, modify the first meeting invite to indicate a second moderator for the first meeting invite; and
include the second moderator in the two or more participants.
