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.
