Creating an Ad Hoc Meeting
A registered user can create an ad hoc meeting in the MiTeam Meetings application by following these steps;
- Click MEET NOW from the Meetings section.
- A pop-up window opens displaying the default Meeting title, the meeting URL, the Dial in information, and the Meeting ID. You can edit the title of the meeting in the Meeting title bar.
Note: It is highly recommended that a meeting be given a unique humanly identifiable name that is easy to remember for the participants. This will enable registered users to easily identify which meeting space to use for their collaboration and facilitate meeting searches.
Click Copy to clipboard to copy the meeting details and paste it elsewhere.
