Allow outside organizations to form a federation with your own

You can establish a link between your organization and other organization to facilitate closer collaboration. With a federated organization, your users can:

  • View and message members from other organizations.
  • View and schedule meetings in workspaces outside your organization. For example, your users can schedule a meeting in another organization's workspace through their Webex App scheduler.
