Classifications can be turned on for Meetings only, Messaging Spaces only, or both Meetings and Messaging Spaces.

For more details on Meetings Classifications, see:

If your administrator turns on meeting classifications for your organization, you can choose a classification label when you schedule a meeting. If you don’t pick a label or start an ad-hoc meeting, Webex uses the default classification set by your administrator.
