Webex offers a variety of collaboration options. But when should you use a Webex Personal Room meeting, a standard scheduled meeting, or a space meeting?

Personal Room Meeting

A Personal Room Meetings uses the traditional dial-in bridge conference that you can schedule and invite via Outlook. Personal Room Meetings are great for back-to-back meetings. With Personal Room Meetings, the meeting host can remain in one meeting room for several meetings and have attendees join at different times.

• Hosting: Anyone in the space can start the meeting by clicking the Meet button.
• Scheduling: Click the Meetings tab to create a calendar invite and have the email addresses of everyone in the space added automatically.

Space Meeting

Space meetings are meant to be more impromptu and informal. You can schedule a meeting with everyone in your space directly from the space. A space meeting is an easy way to meet either when you decide to have an ad-hoc meeting or regular team meetings.
