If your company uses Microsoft Exchange server, Cisco IP Phone Messenger enables you to receive meeting notifications on your Cisco Unified IP Phone. Additionally, if your company uses Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, you can configure it to connect you directly to selected meetings, and you will not need to enter any meeting IDs. By viewing and joining your daily meetings directly from your phone, you do not need to open your desktop calendar software on your computer.
Cisco Unified Presence does not support Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express.
Setting Up Meeting Notifications
If you want to receive meeting reminders on your Cisco Unified IP Phone, you must enable the appropriate setting in Cisco IP Phone Messenger. You must also configure your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace settings if you want to join meetings automatically.
