Guest-to-guest meetings provide a new way to set up and control meetings between non-licensed users. They are vital in the Webex Suite Meetings Platform, where a meeting license is required. Webex Suite Meetings Platform no longer supports licensing a meeting using a Webex space. In this case, the guest-to-guest app serves as the license sponsor.
