Holding Meetings in Cloud Meeting Rooms

After an enterprise purchases a cloud meeting room and assigns an administrator to the cloud meeting room, the administrator can use the cloud meeting room to hold meetings. Other users can join meetings but cannot create them. If an enterprise has multiple cloud meeting rooms, these meeting rooms are independent. Each meeting can use only one cloud meeting room.
