Please find below a video tutorial on creating Boardable meetings.

A single-date meeting is a meeting which happens within one day, and which does not automatically recur on a set timeline.

Once a meeting is created, invitees can view its meeting page. To learn how to let invitees view the meeting's agenda, documents, and other materials, please see Related Articles.
