Standard Scheduled Meeting

You can schedule a standard meeting from your Cisco Webex site, in Microsoft Outlook using the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App, or from your mobile device.

Personal Room Meeting

Personal Room meetings are best for impromptu meetings, and back-to-back meetings in which the meeting host wants to remain in one meeting room for several meetings and have attendees join at different times.

Personal Conference Meeting

A Personal Conference meeting is an audio-only meeting that's similar to a conference call. This meeting type can be escalated to a standard scheduled meeting, if needed. A meeting URL is generated when a Personal Conference meeting is scheduled. For more information about setting up your Personal Conference account numbers, see Schedule a Personal Conference or Audio Only Cisco Webex Meeting.

  • You can schedule single occurrence meetings from your Webex site and in Outlook using the Webex Meetings Desktop App. You can schedule recurring meetings using the Webex Meetings Desktop App.

  • You can add alternate hosts to let others host your Personal Conference Meetings without you.

  • We don't recommend that you allow attendees to join before the meeting starts. Doing so could allow unwanted participants to potentially cause fraudulent telephony charges before the host joining.

  • If you escalate the meeting to a standard Webex meeting, each meeting has a unique meeting URL that users click to join.

  • The maximum number of participants is 500 audio-only participants. If escalated to an online meeting, the first 25 participants can join.
