Cisco Spark advanced meetings include everything in Cisco Spark basic meetings plus these capabilities:
- Host meetings with all the capabilities powered by Cisco WebEx. This includes Cisco WebEx Meeting Center video conferencing (formerly CMR Cloud). Anyone can join on any device, including mobile devices, web, phones via the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Cisco Spark room devices (including the Cisco Spark Board), Cisco IP phones registered to Cisco Spark, Microsoft Skype for Business endpoints, third-party standards-based video endpoints, and more.
- Each user with an advanced meetings subscription has a personal room with their own meeting URL and URI to make scheduling and joining meeting easy. A personal room can be used by anyone to join the meeting. It is constant and associated with the host that owns it. Prior to the host’s arrival, the attendees wait in a lobby.
- Ability to schedule meetings (no Cisco Spark Hybrid Services required).
- Meetings with up to 200 participants.
- Ability to use Cisco Spark Hybrid Services to make scheduling and message space creation easier. The Calendar Service in advanced meetings allows you to add @webex to the Microsoft Outlook invite so that the Cisco WebEx meeting information is automatically populated in the body of the invite. Users can also add @spark to their Microsoft Outlook invite, which will create a Cisco Spark space and add the meeting to that space.
