When attendees join meeting before host

Hosts do not receive email notifications when participants enter a meeting before them.
If you want to receive an e-mail notification when participants enter a meeting, enable this option.

Note: In case of large groups of participants, this may be perceived as undesirable due to the high number of notifications.

When a meeting is cancelled

  • If a meeting is cancelled, both host and participant will receive an email notification that it has been cancelled.
  • If this option is disabled, participants will not receive a notification.

When an alternative host is set or removed from a meeting

  • The alternate host is notified via email when it is added or removed as a host.
  • Enable this option if you want to keep all hosts informed of changes in permissions.

When someone scheduled a meeting for a host

  • If a meeting is scheduled, rescheduled or cancelled, the host will receive a notification when this option is enabled.
  • If you disable this option, the host will not receive notification of the meeting and may miss important information.

When the cloud recording is going to be permanently deleted from trash

  • If the host has deleted a recording, it will be placed in the Recycle Bin. The host will receive a notification 7 days before the permanent delete if this option is enabled.
  • Enable this option if you still want to be reminded when your deleted recordings will be permanently deleted.
