       2. Automatic Recording: This option is recommended if you are planning on recording all of your classes.

Those who click on the join link will see that the password field auto-populates. Only those who search for the Meeting by its Meeting Number will need the password. However, it is a good idea to always share the password as well in case the attendee's browser tries to fill in a saved password instead.

       3. Breakout sessions: Here, you may pre-assign your breakout sessions. Learn how to pre-assign breakout sessions

in the breakout session guide: 

32. 1. 1. at Controlling Webex Breakout Sessions.

A guest is anyone who is not currently signed into Webex with their NetID; this includes students who click on a Join link and are not currently signed in to webex.uconn.edu or the Desktop App. Do not disallow guests from joining the Meeting; a student who is not signed in will not understand why they are unable to join.

          1. Please choose Guests can join the meeting to ensure all your students are able to join; it is unlikely that all of your students have created their UConn Webex

account

33. 1. 1. 1. accounts.
