# Hosting meetings
<a name="chime-organizer-call-controls"></a>

If you have an Amazon Chime Pro account, you can schedule meetings in Amazon Chime. When you schedule a meeting, you automatically become the *host*. Hosts can use a set of meeting management tools that aren't available to attendees.

When you schedule a meeting, you can also appoint moderators and delegates, and they can also use the management tools. The tools available to hosts, moderators, and delegates vary, depending on whether you join the meeting as an authenticated user, meaning you use your Amazon Chime credentials to join the meeting. Authenticated hosts, moderators, and delegates can take the following actions:
+ Add attendees.
+ Admit attendees from the waiting room.
+ Remove attendees. (Only the host can remove themselves, moderators, and delegates from a meeting.)
+ Lock and unlock meetings.
+ Record meetings.
+ Start and stop Event Mode.
+ Turn meeting notifications on or off.
+ Mute all attendees.
+ Turn off attendees' ability to unmute themselves.
+ End the meeting for all attendees.

Unauthenticated hosts, moderators, and delegates can take the following actions:
+ Lock and unlock meetings.
+ Record meetings.
+ Mute all attendees.
+ End the meeting for all attendees.

For more information about moderated meetings, see [Scheduling moderated meetings](moderate-meeting.md).
