8x8 Meet gives you a personal meeting space that you can invite participants to. As an 8x8 Work,user, you have a meeting space assigned to you based on your name.
Find your personal meeting space
To find your personal meeting space, go to the Meetings
/
page in your desktop app or via desktop browser. Your colleagues can join your meeting space at any time if they know its name.
Depending on your organization's setup, adding 8x8 meetings to existing calendar events defaults to either your personal meeting space or a space with a randomized name. You can configure this preference in 8x8 Work for Desktop by navigating to Settings
> Meetings > Schedule meetings.
Keep the following in mind:
The meeting space you select is used for all 8x8 Meet meetings that you add to previously scheduled calendar events, or that you schedule using the 8x8 plug-in for Google Calendar or Office 365.
Regardless of your selection, your personal meeting space is used for all meetings that you start by selecting Start Meeting under Meetings in 8x8 Work for Desktop.
To create an 8x8 Work meeting, you must sign in with your 8x8 credentials. If you are already logged in to 8x8 Work for Desktop, you are not prompted to log in again. Logging in to or out of 8x8 Work for Desktop also affects your login status in your browser.
Note:
If you are scheduling a meeting in a calendar that isn't synced with 8x8 Meet, click Copy next to your personal meeting space name, then paste it into the calendar event details.

Use your personal meeting space to start an instant call, or join an existing meeting from the Meetings panel
Join or create another meeting space
From the Meetings
/
page in 8x8 Work for Desktop, you can also join or create a meeting space other than your own.
To join a colleague's space, enter the name of the meeting space they invited you to, such as <pat.lee>, and confirm to join.
To create a new meeting space, enter a meeting space name that is not related to any of your colleagues' names, such as <sales.space>, and confirm to join.
To create or join a meeting space this way, you must authenticate with your 8x8 credentials or be signed in to 8x8 Work for Desktop.
If you join a new 8x8 Work meeting from a browser, you are prompted for your 8x8 credentials. If you do not have an 8x8 account, you can wait for an authenticated user to join the meeting first. Once an 8x8 Work for Desktop user joins the meeting space, the meeting becomes accessible to other participants.
