7.1 Starting and planning a meeting

Starting a Meeting

Under Create Meeting, you have the option of creating an instant meeting:

- Click Start Meeting to start an instant meeting

Scheduling a Meeting

Under Create Meeting, you have the option of creating a scheduled meeting:

- Click Schedule Meeting to set up a scheduled meeting

A new window for configuring the scheduled meeting will open. Here you can:

  • Add a title for the meeting
  • Specify if the meeting is a recurring meeting
  • Set the date, time and duration of a meeting

After you have entered all the necessary data, click on Save.

  • Specify if the meeting is a recurring meeting. Click on Does not repeat, to open a drop-down menu and choose between the following options:
    • Does not repeat
    • Every weekday (Mo-Fr)
    • Weekly
    • Monthly
    • Yearly

After you have configured the planned meeting, click Save.

⇒ Planned meetings with the configuration Does not repeat are displayed under the Scheduled Meetings tab. Planned meetings that repeat are displayed under the Recurring Meetings tab.

Scheduled meetings are displayed under Scheduled meetings. Click on the three dots next to a meeting to access information about that meeting, to copy an invitation, or to edit or delete the meeting.

TIP

If a scheduled meeting is used (people click on the invitation link), its lifetime will be extended by another 30 days every time it's used. This means that if you keep using a scheduled meeting, it will never expire. Its lifetime will always be 30 days from the day it was last used. A scheduled meeting only expires if it is "idle" for more than 30 days.
