Webex - How to Delegate/Allow Someone to Schedule a Webex Meeting on Your Behalf in Outlook

If you host Webex meetings regularly, you can delegate someone else to schedule, edit, cancel and start meetings for you.

Allow Someone to Schedule Meetings on Your Behalf Overview

To give someone permission to manage your meetings, give them scheduling permissions on your Webex site, and share your calendar with them in Microsoft Outlook.

The delegate must have a host account and have Webex Productivity Tools installed on their computer.

Assign a Delegate on the Webex Site
