2. How to manage your GoToMeeting meeting settings.
Now it’s time to select which bookings should trigger meetings in GoToMeeting.
Select the services and group bookings you want to make virtual. You might want to add new services and group bookings, and include "virtual" or "GoToMeeting video call" in the title so that they're easy to identify. You can go and do this now, then come back and select your GoToMeeting meetings from the drop-down.
Next, manage your meeting preferences. Your settings will apply to all GoToMeeting meetings. You can go back and update these anytime.
Now compose a message to your customers. This email will go out to your participants, together with a unique link that we auto-generate for each meeting.
You can activate two additional email reminders for your video meeting, to go out to all participants, including resources. Since the meeting requires a unique link to join, it's handy for participants to get a few reminders - it increases the chances of them being able to access the link.
That's it! You're good to go.
