Mods, we heard ya loud and clear and know that adding designated hosts as mods without perms is hacky and undesirable. Happy to announce that you can now add great speakers as approved hosts in your communities.

How it works

As a moderator with Manage Users permissions, you can give trusted members the ability to create and host Reddit Talks in your community.

To add an approved member, go to mod tools, select Add Talk Host in the top right of your screen, type in the username of the redditor you wish to approve, and select Approve user. You can send them a message letting them know they are an approved host.
