Getting Started

Getting Started guide

This Document covers most of the everyday use cases of how developers will use developer portal APIs.

In Webex, the meetings can be broadly classified as below,

Webex Meetings Scheduled Webex Meetings - In this, the meeting gets created first and then the meeting information like Meeting ID, passcode & unique meeting link is sent to the invitees

PMR (personal meeting room) (aka instant meeting) - This is a meeting with static URL which can be attached to a meeting schedule as well as sent out as a message for anyone to join

Space Meetings Scheduled Space Meetings - In this, the meeting gets created first and then the meeting information like Meeting ID, passcode & meeting link is available to the members of the space in Webex

Ad-hoc Space Meetings - This type of meeting can be started from a team space, where the meeting gets started instantly without any pre-scheduled meeting links. Although these meetings are instant and does not have a meeting ID / URL at the time of starting, Webex creates a meeting ID & URL for it which can be obtained via the Meeting Info API.
