Enable Collaboration Meeting Rooms for Host accounts

You can turn on Collaboration Meeting Rooms so that people can join from their video systems.

Only Webex Meetings users and Webex Events panelists can join through a video system.


Video systems can't join Webex Events on the FedRAMP platform, because the FedRAMP platform is running Video Platform 1.
