What is an Externally Hosted Conference?
An Externally Hosted Conference is a conference that has been created outside of your Cisco TMS. For
example, if another company is hosting a conference and has provided a dial-in video address, you can
schedule endpoints in your organization by booking an Externally Hosted Conference in Cisco TMS, making
the endpoints dial in to the conference as One Button To Push or Automatic Connect if desired.
