  1. Open Outlook and navigate to your calendar.
  2. Click on the “New Meeting” button in the top-left corner of the window to create a new meeting invitation.
  3. In the meeting invitation window, you will see the new “Webex” tab in the ribbon. Click on it.
  4. On the Webex tab, click on the “Schedule Meeting” button.
