Scheduling an online meeting ​

Scheduling an online meeting ​


Online meetings save travel costs and are easier to set up than physical meet-ups. In Zoho Meeting, all you need to do to set up a meeting is provide the details of the meeting and the email addresses of participants in the Schedule meeting form. Your participants will receive email invitations using which they can join the meeting at the scheduled time. The invitation will also carry RSVP,  help links on how to join meetings through phones, and system requirements to join meetings using a computer. You can also add meetings to your calendar, and set up reminders.
