Short video address format for meetings and webinars and events
You don't have to remember the Webex site name to join a video system in Webex Meetings, Webex Webinars or Webex Events (classic). You can join faster because you only need to know the meeting, webinar or event number.
Hosts and Participants

Instead of the current video address format: <
When you schedule or get invited to a new meeting, you'll see the shorter video address in the meeting invitation.
We know that you have existing meeting invitations that include the Webex site name in the video address. This format will continue to work so you don't need to change anything.
We've also standardized the video address for Personal Room meetings. The new format for Personal Room meetings is <. Video addresses in the current format, <Personal_Room_ID>, continue to be available for calling in. The new format will be included in new meeting invitations.
Room Systems
Room systems will continue to work with existing meetings. Tapping the Join Webex or Join Meeting sends the dial-in digits from either the old or new format.
Skype for Business
The existing join method for Skype for Business < will continue to work as well as the new format, < .
Webex Administrators
