Webex Personal Room

The Personal Room works similarly to a regular meeting, but is unique in a few ways. The link never changes, and meetings using the personal room do not need to be scheduled in advance. This is ideal for meetings like office hours, where students know that you will be in your personal room during a specific time frame and they can join freely. You can lock your personal room mid-meeting which enables a waiting room feature, allowing you to bring people in individually.
