Webex Meeting - Delegate-Allow Someone to Schedule a Webex Meeting on Your Behalf in Outlook

If you host Webex meetings regularly, you can delegate someone else to schedule, edit, cancel and start meetings for you.

Allow Someone to Schedule Meetings on Your Behalf Overview

To give someone permission to manage your meetings, give them scheduling permissions on your Webex site, and share your calendar with them in Microsoft Outlook.

The delegate must have a host account and have Webex Productivity Tools installed on their computer.

Assign a Delegate on the Webex Site

Sign in to your Webex site.

2

Select Preferences > Scheduling > Scheduling Permissions.

In the Scheduling permission box, enter the email address of one or more hosts you want to allow to schedule meetings on your behalf.

You can select a maximum of 20 hosts.

Select Save at the bottom of the Preferences page.

On Windows, you can get to the same page through the Webex integration to Microsoft Outlook. From Outlook select Schedule Meeting > More > Set Scheduling Permission to go directly to the Scheduling Options section on your Webex site.
