Webex Meetings: Difference between "Meet Now", "Schedule Webex Meeting", "Schedule Personal Conference Meeting" and "Schedule Personal Room Meeting"

 

Meet Now

Need to hold a meeting now? The Meet Now command is a simple way to start instant meetings.
You can start instant meetings from your Cisco Webex site using the Meet Now command or in your Outlook Desktop Client. By default, instant meetings that you start with the "Meet Now" command are in your Personal Room.

1. Once in the room you can go to the Circle menu navigation bar and select three dots icon and choose Invite and Remind.

2. To send someone an invitation to your personal room, type in any email address and press Send.

3.You can also give them your nine digit personal room number and they can enter this into the Webex Join box at www.nccu.webex.com or enter xxxxxxxxx (your nine digit number) and enter it into the Join A Meeting box on Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop Application starting window.

Schedule Personal Room Meeting

A personal room is your own virtual conference space and it is always available and you never have to book it.  You can also schedule a meeting in the future in your personal room. The advantage of scheduling meetings in your personal room is you never have to leave the room when the next meeting starts in your personal room. However, this means, unless you lock your room, others can come in to an already occurring meeting. Your personal room always has the same nine digit number.

1. To find this number, launch your personal room- Meet Now- and go to Meeting in the menu and choose Information. You can also locate your personal room meeting number from the browser by going to www.nccu.webex.com.

2. Login and then select the tab My Webex (if using classic version). If you do not see My Webex, click on the arrow above your initials or image to display the tab options.

Click on Preferences, My Personal Room, and not the nine digit number after the PR
