Meeting types are default or customized sets of meeting features available for your site. Your account can have one or multiple Meeting types associated with it.

You can schedule your meeting to happen daily, biweekly, monthly, and so on.

You can set the following options for your Cisco Webex site:

• In Audio connection options:

  • Audio connection type—Choose one of the following:

    • Webex Audio—Includes call-in, call-back, and computer audio options. Phone options may include toll-free and global call-in numbers, as well as the ability to set entry and exit tones.

      Use VoIP only—Limits all attendees to using computer audio.

      Other Teleconference—Allows you to enter third-party teleconference information.

      Users who prefer to use non-integrated audio teleconferencing can do so for Cisco Webex, the Webexapp, and video device-enabled meetings supported by their service site. To use this feature for the Webexapp, your site must be managed in or linked to Webex Control Hub.

    • Display toll-free number—Displays a toll-free number for your guests to call into from their phone.

      Click the drop-down arrow next to Use teleconferencing location to select the country.

  • Entry and exit tone—Select a tone to hear when an attendee joins or leaves the meeting.

    When using Webex Audio with the Announce Name feature, attendees who select the Use computer for audio option can't record and announce their names.

  • Mute attendees—Choose from the following options:

    • Allow the host and cohosts to unmute participants (Moderated unmute mode)

      —Hosts and cohosts can unmute participants directly without sending an unmute request. This is available in 41.2 and later Webex sites.

    • Allow attendees to unmute themselves in the meeting

      —If you have chosen to mute attendees when they join the meeting, select this option to allow them to unmute themselves during the meeting.

      If you want only the host or co-host to be able to unmute attendees, leave this option unchecked.
