Who is a Presenter?

During a Skype for Business conference call, the presenter is the attendee who has full control over the ongoing conference. The presenter can not only share content (such as presentations and their computer desktop) with all those in attendance, but also record the call, change preferences and settings for the conference as it goes on, mute specific attendees, and more. By default, all of these powers rest with the person who initiated the conference call. However, another presenter (or multiple presenters) can be appointed for the conference using the same computer the conference call originated from, or by an existing presenter.
