For the pair sharing one session

    A Webinar Co-Host Setup: Two Names on One Registration Page

    Two people running one session should read as one organised page: both names with both biographies, a clear split of who says what, and an agreed answer to who sends the invitations.

    A shared session needs a shared page, not two

    The usual mistake is a split effort. One person makes the registration page, the other writes their own announcement with a different start time and a half-remembered description, and the two of you discover the mismatch when registrants quote different things back at you. The fix is structural before it is diplomatic: one page, both names on it, one address that everyone is pointed at.

    That is genuinely possible with a webinar page, because the speaker area takes more than one person. Each gets a name, a title, a photograph and a biography, so the host and the speaker โ€” or the two speakers with one of you keeping time โ€” appear side by side before anybody registers. Two names on one page look organised in a way that two pages about one session never do.

    Split the parts before you write anything

    Ambiguity about roles is what makes a two-person session feel improvised. Settle these in writing first.

    Who opens and who delivers

    Someone holds the first five minutes: welcome, housekeeping, the handover. Whoever that is, the biographies should say so, because the coverage line is what tells a registrant which half of the hour they are getting from which person.

    Who sends the invitations

    Pick one name on the sending. Two people posting the same link to overlapping lists is the fastest way to annoy a shared audience, and it makes it impossible to say afterwards where a registration came from.

    Who watches the list

    The registration page belongs to the account that built it, and that is where the attendee list and the notices live. Agree who reads them, and forward what the other person needs rather than both of you guessing.

    Who answers the emails

    Registrants reply to whoever signed the invitation. Decide the voice now โ€” one of you answering, or both of you on the same line โ€” and put that in the description so nobody promises a reply the other cannot give.

    What each person's section should carry

    • A name and a role as it reads today, not a title someone held at a previous employer.
    • One credibility sentence each, and it need not be the same kind. The practitioner's is experience; the auditor's is volume.
    • A coverage line naming which part of the session belongs to them, so the agenda and the biographies agree.
    • A photograph for both, shot in similar conditions. Mismatched lighting between two headshots is the detail that makes a page look assembled rather than planned.

    Two biographies that describe one session

    The same host-and-speaker pair, written so neither paragraph overlaps the other.

    The host who keeps time
    Sofie Marchand reads grant applications for a small cultural trust in Lyon and hosts the trust's evening sessions for applicants. She opens, keeps the two of you to time, and holds the questions until the end.
    The speaker who delivers the content
    Julien Marchand has written submissions for heritage projects for nine years, including several that were refused. His part of the session is one application from the first paragraph to the refusal letter, and what he does differently now.
    The line that says who is doing what
    Two names, one hour: Julien covers the application and Sofie runs the session, times it and takes your questions at the end.

    The practical limits of one page

    Worth stating before the two of you plan a season. A page carries one live session, so a second date is a second page with its own link, its own seat limit and its own list. Hosts who want to run the same pair monthly make a page per date and reuse the wording, which is less tidy than a series and works well enough once the biographies are written.

    The same session, though, holds both of you comfortably: one description naming the pair, one agenda with chapters, one list of registrations against the capacity you set, and reminders going out by email to everyone who signed up on the same schedule. The only thing genuinely duplicated across two names is the embarrassment when the start time on your announcement differs from the one on theirs.

    How it works

    Setting up a two-name session

    Agree the split on one screen

    Who opens, who delivers, who sends the link, who answers replies. Write it as two sentences before either of you drafts anything.

    Build one page holding both people

    Draft it in the app or describe the pair to Jitabi and let it lay the sections out, then fill a separate biography block for each of you.

    Set the seats and the questions

    Cap registrations to the size of the room you can genuinely hold, and add your own questions to the form if the two of you need anything beyond a name and an email.

    Send from one name and read the list from one place

    One person posts the link, the attendee list fills underneath it, and the second name appears on the page rather than in a competing message.

    Questions

    Common questions about webinar co host

    Can a webinar page show two speakers?

    It can show several people, each with a name, title, photograph and biography. What one page cannot hold is several sessions, so two names around a single date and time is straightforward and a pair of dates on the same link is not.

    Does the co-host get their own join link?

    Every registered attendee receives a private access link, and the host pastes the address for whatever service they present on. A second person running the session usually registers the same way anyone else does, or uses the organiser address they already hold.

    Can both of us edit the page?

    The page is built and published from the account that made it, and the attendee list lives there too. The tidy arrangement for a pair is one owner for the page and for the list, with the second name presented on the page and both of you agreeing wording before it goes live.

    Who do reminders get sent to?

    Everyone registered, by email, at 24 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes before the start โ€” and the host can switch those off. Reminders do not go out over WhatsApp to attendees; the messaging side is a notification to the host that somebody registered.

    We each have our own audience. Does that cause a problem?

    Only for the sending, which is why the invitations should leave from one name. Both audiences land on the same list, and the list keeps a status per person โ€” registered, attended, waitlisted, cancelled, no-show โ€” so you can both read the same picture afterwards.

    Get Started

    One page, one pair, one sending hand

    Both names with both biographies, a clear split of who does what, and one address everyone is pointed at. The session looks organised before it starts.
