In almost every situation, you will want to schedule your meeting instead of clicking on the Start a Meeting button. The Start a Meeting button takes you to what is referred to as your “personal room”, which serves as a quick, temporary meeting space. Using the schedule function can save you and your attendees a lot of confusion down the road!
