Multi-user meetings
Should the Event support multi-user meetings you are able to create meetings with multiple participants. There are two ways of creating such meetings:
- Send a new meeting request to multiple users
- Invite additional participants to already created meeting
Requesting a new multi-user meeting
1. Open the profile page of a user you wish to have a meeting with.
2. On the "Request a meeting" option, the user will see the 'Add more' button displayed under the 'Invitees' field.
3. Click on "Add more" button and search for users. Users will only be able to search for other users that are part of the same event and the right permissions have been setup (Max of 10 users can invited per single invite and only invite users who are available for the chosen timeslot)
4. Click "Send" button. Once this has been done, all users can be seen on the participants list (Each user will need to accept the invite).
Inviting additional participants
1. Open the profile page of the person you have a meeting with and display meeting details.
2. On the list of participants you will find a "Add invitee" button
3. Click on "Add invitee" button and search for people you want to meet. You will only find people you have permissions to meet with.
4. You can select up to 10 people on a single invite and only select people who are available for relevant timeslot.
5. Click "invite". Once this has been done, you will also see additional participants on the list; and each of them needs to accept the invite separately.
