    1. Guests: Add the name, email address, and other details of the participant, then click Add Meeting Participant button.

    2. Committees: Click the Committees tab and select the required committee from the drop-down that you want to invite for the meeting.

    3. Mailing Lists: When choosing a mailing list, members are imported a single time as individual participants. Continuous synchronization is not available as members are added, updated, or removed from the list. Only lists containing 200 members or fewer can be imported.

Additional Settings

  1. Before scheduling the meeting, Toggle ON these additional meeting settings:

    1. Show in Public Calendar: Toggle ON to list this meeting on your organization’s public calendar so everyone can see it.

    2. Restrict to invited users: Allow only the users you invite to join the meeting, ensuring privacy and limiting attendance to selected participants.

    3. Let users join early: Allow participants to enter the meeting room before the scheduled start time, which can help them test their connection or get settled.

    4. Record this meeting: Automatically record the meeting so you or others can review it later or share it with those who couldn’t attend.

      1. When you enable this option, you can :

        1. Create the transcript from the Zoom recordings. It will have the same visibility settings as the recordings (refer to point g).

        2. Upload the meeting recordings to YouTube (coming soon).

      1. Review the AI summary before publishing: Check and edit the AI-generated summary before sharing it with participants to ensure accuracy and relevance.

    6. Where should users see the link(s) to the AI summary? Choose where participants can access the AI meeting summary—either only in the PCC tool or both in PCC and their Individual dashboard.
