Schedule a Meeting

Prior to using the Surface Hub, you can schedule a meeting with the Hub by adding/inviting the Hub as an attendee to the meeting. This will allow you to easily join the meeting when you arrive at the Surface Hub. Create the meeting, as you normally would, with Outlook or Teams. When adding the meeting attendees include the Surface Hub. You can search the directory for the Hub using the Hub's name or email address.
