This is a tricky question because you have two options: invite your speaker to join a meeting after it has started or create a meeting through the Webex website (miamioh.webex.com) rather than within Canvas.
Note that starting in April 2020, anyone joining a Webex meeting who does not have a Miami email address will be required to enter a password, which will be included in the email invitation that’s automatically generated by Webex.
Invite your speaker to join a meeting after it has started
To invite someone to a meeting you’ve scheduled after you’ve started it, simply (1) click the three-dot icon at the bottom of your Webex meeting window, then (2) click the Copy Meeting Link option. Webex will copy the meeting link to your clipboard, then you can send it to your guest speaker.
Create a meeting outside of Canvas
When you create a meeting through the Webex site (miamioh.webex.com), you’re able to add email addresses for your meeting participants, so you can add your speaker to the meeting as a participant. They’ll automatically be sent a link to the Webex meeting via email.
You can also enter students’ emails when you create the meeting, and/or you can post the meeting link in your Canvas course. While you aren’t provided with a link for a meeting when you create one in Canvas, links for meetings created on the Webex website are displayed right in your meeting list, so you’ll be able to copy it and paste it into an email or announcement.
Instructions for scheduling a meeting from the Webex site are available in the Webex Help Center.
