Frequently Asked Questions
How many attendees can be part of a single meeting?
There is no set limit to the number of attendees that can attend one meeting. Hosts can invite all attendees to a meeting if necessary.
What happens if only one person accepts?
The meeting will still take place if one or more guests deny the meeting request.
What happens when you cancel a meeting?
If a host cancels a meeting, it is gone permanently from the app. The host will need to recreate the meeting if they wish to bring it back. If a guest leaves the meeting they can still reaccept the meeting request to join back in. However, if the guest denies the meeting request, they can still view the meeting request but will not be able to interact with it.
I’m getting a “We couldn't complete your meeting request due to the guest(s) meeting settings” error message when creating a meeting. What should I do?
This message appears when at least one of the guests chosen does not meet the requirements set by the Event Administrators to join a meeting. The host will need to exclude the attendee(s) that do not meet the requirements.
