As a host, starting a meeting is as simple as logging in to your meeting room and then inviting others to do the same. You can send your meeting URL to attendees in an instant message or e‑mail invitation, and frequent guests can bookmark the URL for future use. Meetings can be spontaneous, or you may have prearranged groups who log into your meeting room at the same time every week.

Before you invite attendees to join you in the room, you may want to resize or rearrange the meeting room pods. You can also set phone conference options in advance, so that attendees are shown the phone number to call as they join the meeting.

After one or more attendees have joined you in the meeting, you may want to share your screen, broadcast from your web camera, send text messages, or optimize the bandwidth for the room.
