Starting an Impromptu/Ad Hoc Meeting 
 
If you select the +New button –> Video Conference or Meetings icon –> Start Meeting, you are immediately taken into an active Video Conference window where you are the moderator. From this window, you can invite colleagues to your active Meeting.  

Schedule a Meeting 

If you select New+ button –> Schedule meeting or the Meetings feature icon –> Schedule meeting a pop-up window will open, allowing you to create a title, select a date and time and invite colleagues (internal or external) to your meeting. Once scheduled, it will appear in the Meetings sidebar menu under Upcoming with the date and time. 

 
A Meeting reminder will show up 15 mins before the meeting is scheduled with an option to Open, Snooze 5 Minutes or Dismiss

Active meetings will show up under the Ongoing header. A Meeting becomes active 15-minutes before the scheduled start time. Click the video camera icon on the ongoing Meeting or click Open on the pop-up meeting reminder, then Join to jump on the video conference with your colleagues.
