Before this release, your experience in a meeting associated with a space was tied to who created the space (known as the meeting sponsor). The feature set available to you depended on the type of account that person had. From here on in, we'll refer to this as the classic meetings experience.

We’ve removed the concept of meeting sponsorship. Now, only the host's license determines the meeting capabilities. If you have, at minimum, a Basic Meetings license and you're in the same organization as the person who created the space, you can schedule or start a meeting in that space. If you're not in the same organization, you won't be able to schedule or start meetings in that space. For more information about our Basic Meetings license, see Basic Meetings in Control Hub and Site Administration.

Any meetings that are already in your calendar, however, will use the classic experience based on meeting sponsorship and have a potentially limited feature set. We encourage you to reschedule those so that you can get the most out of your meetings.

Now, when you schedule or join a meeting associated with a space, you get either the full-featured meetings experience or the enhanced meetings experience. Find out if you're set up with full-featured meetings. If you are, you have access to a full set of Webex Meetings features.

If you're not set up with full-featured meetings, here's a table to give you a quick summary of what all you're getting in the enhanced experience and how it compares with classic meetings.
