Limitations
WebEx booking limitations
WebEx booking does not support all recurrence patterns and options supported by Cisco TMS:
n
Exceptions from a recurrence pattern (moving or updating one or more meetings) are not supported.
n
Some advanced recurrence patterns are not supported.
When WebEx is not supported for a particular booking, the booking will fall back to telepresence only.
WebEx-only meetings not supported
WebEx-only meetings should not be booked using Cisco TMSBA. If using Cisco TMS to create a conference
that includes WebEx without including any telepresence participants, telepresence resources will still be
taken up, as an MCU will connect to the conference. The API will book the conference, but return a warning
when such conferences are created.
