<span id="topic-1" style="padding-top:40px;">Meeting Types</span>

Webex offers a variety of collaboration options to personalize your experience.

Personal Room Meeting

‍A Personal Room Meeting uses the traditional dial-in bridge conference that you can schedule and invite via Outlook. Personal Room Meetings are ideal for back-to-back meetings. With Personal Room Meetings, the meeting host can remain in one meeting room for several meetings and have attendees join at different times.

• ○ Hosting: Anyone in the space can start the meeting by clicking the Meet button.
• ○ Scheduling: Click the Meetings tab to create a calendar invite and have the email addresses of everyone in the space added automatically.
• ○ Joining: Anyone invited to a space meeting may immediately join the meeting.

Space Meeting

‍You can schedule a meeting with everyone in your space directly from the space. A space meeting is an easy way to meet either when you decide to have an ad-hoc meeting or regular team meetings.  Only other Webex space users can join a space meeting.

• ○ Hosting: Anyone in the space can start the meeting by clicking the Meet button.
• ○ Scheduling: Click the Meetings tab to create a calendar invite and have the email addresses of everyone in the space added automatically.
• ○ Joining: Anyone invited to a space meeting may immediately join the meeting.

Scheduled Meeting

‍A standard scheduled meeting is a traditional Webex meeting that has a unique URL issued for each new meeting. 

• ○ Hosting: Host or alternate host(s) can start the meeting.
• ○ Scheduling: Unique URLs are issued for each new meeting to share in meeting invites.
• ○ Joining: Attendees can join up to 15 minutes before the meeting starts via your dedicated meeting link.

If you have a Standard or Premium Webex Package (Executive or Meetings Plus ProConnect seat), you can meet in your Cisco Webex Personal Meeting Room.

1. 1. Go to Meetings, by selecting the meeting icon.

Note: If you don't see Start a meeting, it could be because:

               a. You don't have a Standard or Premium Webex account.

• • The meeting starts instantly, and everyone in the space sees a Join button in their meeting list and in their spaces list in the Webex app.
