Host or Schedule a Meeting

To host a meeting, you must have the Professional feature plan.

You can invite anyone on the Company contact list as well as anyone with an email address. You can schedule one-time and recurring meetings, or start an ad-hoc meeting whenever needed.

Anyone can join a meeting anytime, even before the meeting is scheduled to start or without a host as long as they have an ID or a link for the meeting. Up to 250 participants can join a Cymbus meeting, but only 25 participants can send their video.

Enable a waiting room so no one joins the meeting until you approve entry.

Schedule a Meeting

  1. Go to  Meetings, select Icon-NewMtg-camera.pngIcon-NewMtg-arrow.pngNew Meeting, and then select Schedule Meeting

  2. In the Invite people field, add participants by typing their name or email address.

  3. Configure meeting settings. If you choose to generate a meeting ID automatically, you have options to enable a passcode and a waiting room. If scheduling a recurring meeting, the meeting ID stays the same for the whole series.

    • Enable a waiting room so that the host approves each participant upon entry.

    • Enable a passcode for participants to join. The passcode must be 6 digits (numbers only).

  4. Select Save. The scheduled meeting appears in the Upcoming list.

If people you invited through their email address didn't get a meeting invite, ensure they check their Spam folder. The sender is noreply@cymbus.com.

  3. In the preview dialog, set meeting preferences such as mute, background blur, and camera.

  4. Approve or deny participants entry if you enabled a waiting room. No one can join the meeting until approved.

Ad-Hoc Meetings (Meet Now)

Start a meeting anytime using the Meet Now button. The Meet Now meetings always use your personal meeting ID. Participants can join your Meet Now meeting by clicking a link or entering your personal meeting ID. 

The Quickest Way to Start Meet Now on the Desktop app

When you want to have a quick call with someone, hover over their name on the desktop app to reveal a contact card where you can start a Meet Now meeting. When you click Meet Now, the app messages them with your meeting link, and start a meeting for both to join.

    Alternatively on the desktop app, you can start a Meet Now meeting by selecting Create New > Meeting on the left-side navigation bar.

  3. In the preview dialog, set meeting preferences such as mute, camera and background effects. You are now in the meeting.

Ad-hoc meetings do not appear in the Recent list after they ended.

Cancel or Change a Meeting

The host can cancel or change the details of a scheduled meeting. If the meeting is recurring, the host can choose just one occurrence or the whole series to apply changes.

  1. Go to  Meetings and select a meeting you want to cancel or change.

  2. Select More in the top right corner, and select the task you want.

  3. Make the changes and select Save.

Invitees will see a notification of the change if they are Cymbus users. They can also refresh the Upcoming list to see the changes or cancellation.

The canceled meeting appears crossed out in the Upcoming list. To remove a canceled meeting from the Upcoming list, select Remove.
