Allow someone to schedule meetings on your behalf overview

To give another host permission to manage your Webex meetings from Microsoft Outlook for Microsoft Exchange, first give them scheduling permissions on your Webex site. Then, share your calendar and assign the other host as a delegate in Microsoft Outlook. If you use Microsoft Outlook with a Microsoft 365 account, you only need to assign the other host as a delegate in Microsoft Outlook.

If using Exchange on-premises, your version of Outlook must be on the Current Channel or Monthly Enterprise Channel for updates. The delegate must have a host account and have Webex Scheduler or Webex Productivity Tools installed.

Final release for Webex Productivity Tools

The June (42.6) release was the final release for Productivity Tools for Windows. The final release for Productivity Tools for Mac was 41.5 as Microsoft blocked injection-based plugins on Mac.

Microsoft Outlook customers who wish to schedule Webex meetings from Microsoft Outlook should move to the Webex Scheduler add-in.

The Webex Meetings desktop app and Webex Productivity Tools are provided in two separate packages. For information on the desktop app, see Webex Meetings Desktop App.

Productivity Tools no longer supports integrations with IBM Lotus Notes, IBM Sametime, Microsoft Lync, Internet Explorer, and Skype for Business from 41.2.
