Re: Meetecho for interim meetings

[Henk Birkholz <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

quickly running though a series of tests with Michael, we were able to 
to recreate the issue and also schedule meetings that do not exhibit the 
issue.

You can select a "Meeting type", when you schedule a meeting. You should 
select "Webex Meeting Pro 200" there.

As you might have guessed, I did not. Selecting "Webex Personal 
Conference" instead comes with the issue we experienced at the iotops 
interim.

So, it is pretty easy to circumvent that issue by selecting the 
"correct" type. Now, I am left wondering, why I have three options to 
choose from. My options are:

"Webex Meetings 107 Virutal"
"Webex Meeting Pro 200"
"WebEx Personal Conference"

Are these options the same for everyone else? Do we need anything else 
than "Webex Meeting Pro 200"?

Viele Grüße,

Henk
