Fig 1. Select Schedule a New Meeting
Timing
Single meeting
The New Meeting screen defaults to a single meeting, starting at a specific date and time, and lasting for a set duration.
Recurring meeting
Select the Recurring checkbox if you wish to schedule multiple meetings at specific times, lasting for a set duration, but that repeat daily, weekly, or monthly.
Persistent meeting
Select the Recurring checkbox and select No Fixed Time from the Recurrence menu to create a meeting that never ends and can be used repeatedly, similar to your Personal Meeting. This is a popular choice for instructors who want to create a persistent room for a course that they can use for multiple purposes (e.g., class meetings, office hours).
Configure options
Configure the remainder of the options to meet your needs (Fig 2).
Meeting password
Select Require a meeting password to reveal a text box into which you can enter a password that attendees will require to join the meeting.
Video
Decide whether you want the host and/or participant cameras activated automatically upon joining the meeting. In some meetings, participants would rather decide when to activate their cameras themselves. In other cases, you may not want attendees to be queried about starting their own cameras.
Audio
By default, participants can choose whether to listen to meeting audio and talk using their computer speakers and microphone provide both computer audio and telephone access
