      About This Task 

      Boardable's meeting prep page makes it easy to create meetings, add videoconferencing, and invite attendees. By putting all of these steps in one, intuitive workflow, we've made the scheduling process a breeze and reduced the likelihood of error. Plus, all of the meetings you create are stored in a central location, making them easy to review and mange. 

      Add A Meeting 

      You can create meetings from three places in Boardable: the Home page, the Meetings page, or the Groups page. 

      From the home page, select Add a meeting from the Meetings pane. Users in an observer role cannot create meetings from the home page.
