Standard Meetings

In standard meetings, your media data is transmitted over the Webex Cloud using end-to-end encryption.

When scheduling a Standard Meeting, you can specify how to handle people who are not on the original invitation list:

  • These people may join the meeting directly.
  • These people must wait in a waiting lobby until you manually admit them to the meeting.
  • Access is completely denied to people who were not originally invited.
