When conducting a Phone Conference using Webex, you may use either your Personal Room or a Scheduled Meeting. Your Personal Room will always use the same Access Code while each Scheduled Meeting will have a unique Access Code (all recurrences of the same Scheduled Meeting will have the same Access Code). 

• Decide if you would like to use your Personal Room or create a Scheduled Meeting.

• If you have many Meetings, you may use your Personal Room.

• If you would like increased security, use create a Scheduled Meeting for the benefit of a unique Access Code.

• Both session types can use the Room Lock that bars all entry.
