The Join Before Host Option is Missing When Scheduling a Webex Meeting

ISSUE
When scheduling a Webex Meeting, the option to allow attendees to join before the host is not available to configure. The location of the scheduling option differs depending on how you are scheduling.

  2. In the navigation pane under Services, click Meeting.
  3. Click the Webex site you want to have the option enabled for.
  4. Click Settings > Security.
