Cisco Webex - Schedule A Meeting

Sign in to your Webex site, then select Schedule a Meeting.

(Optional) If you have any saved meeting templates, you can select one from the Meeting templates.

Add the basics by providing the following information:

• Meeting type—Meeting types are default or customized meeting features available for your site. Your account can have one or more meeting types associated with it.
• Meeting topic—Choose a topic that people will recognize and get excited about.
• Date and time—Indicate when the meeting will take place. If you're inviting people from different time zones, click the Time zone planner so you can find a time that works best for everyone.

  You can also set the meeting to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, and so on by checking the Recurrence check box.

• Invitees—Enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite to your meeting. If they have an account on this site, you can select  next to their name if you want them to be a cohost.
• Meeting agenda—Add any context or details you want your attendees to have about the upcoming meeting.

If your site administrator has enabled Tracking Codes, click Edit tracking code to enter the required information.

In the Security section, add the following information:

• Exclude password—Check this check box if you don't want the meeting password in the email invitation.

In the Audio connection options section, add the following information:

  • Use VoIP only—Limits all panelists to using computer audio.
  • Other teleconference services—Allows you to enter third-party teleconference information.

    Don't select this option if you want only the host or cohost to be able to unmute attendees.
