Your Webex Personal Room used with Webex Meetings and Webex App
Your own personal Webex Room serves as your own personal virtual conference room.
Your Personal Room is always accessible to you, and you are familiar with its location at all times. You can begin an instant meeting with someone by simply sharing your link with them. The following conveniences are included when renting a Personal Room:
- Your Personal Room will always be located at the same location; the web address (URL), video address (video address), and call-in numbers will not be changed.
- If a participant’s Meetings account permits them to attend meetings through video devices, they will be able to participate even if they are utilizing video systems, Webex room devices, or desk devices.
- If someone tries to attend your Personal Room meeting before its scheduled start time or if you have your Personal Room locked, they will be directed to a virtual waiting room or lobby where they can wait.
Use your Personal Room in Meetings
You are able to invite individuals to meetings in your Personal Room by using the Meetings feature.
- Send a link to your Personal Room in any communications you send. You can get your Personal Room URL by going to the home page of your Webex site and copying it.
- You can begin immediate meetings on Cisco Webex by using Meet Now (if your system is set up to use Personal Rooms) or Schedule Meeting (from the Microsoft Outlook calendar or the Cisco Webex Productivity Tools panel).
- Beginning a meeting in a Webex Personal Room can be done directly from your Webex site.
Use your Personal Room in Webex App
You are able to make use of the following Webex Personal Room shortcuts if your Webex Personal Room is integrated with Webex App:

- You can hold an immediate meeting with other members of the space by including a link to your Personal Room in a message that you send through the app.

If the administration of your Webex site is performed in Control Hub or if Control Hub is linked to your Webex site, then your Personal Room will already be associated with the Webex App. If it isn’t already associated, you can do it manually through the Webex App. Please read the “Set up your Personal Room” page for further details.
