May 2020

We need to add all Microsoft O365 users on the Webex Org for the Webex Meetings to work. In real world situation, you would not to do this step as customer's or corporate’s Microsoft domain and Webex domain usually will be the same. In this demo, however, we have do it manually because we are using the O365 trial account. Also, you would notice that same users that we are going to add would already be present on the Webex Control Hub but with a different domain (Webex Meetings Domain).
