After clicking the OK button, the field opposite the “To” button will be filled with the selected addresses.

Any characters can be entered in this field, however, if you enter information other than an email address after clicking the "Schedule" button, an error message may be displayed.

The parameters "Date", "Time", "Duration" can be entered either using the keyboard or using the mouse.

To complete the conference scheduling you must click the "Schedule" button.

If the "Send email notifications to conference participants" option is checked, then conference participants will receive an email containing an invitation and links to join the conference using various options.
