When you federate your organization with others, members of both organizations appear in user search results with their contact details. All invited organizations need to approve their membership before they appear in search results. Member organizations can choose to revoke their own federated status at any time.

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.
