What's the difference between @meet and @webex:space and how many participants can join the meeting?

[Breybhart]

I noticed that when you book @meet in outlook and invite participants it creates a space in Webex app.  and if you decide to create another meeting with the same participants, you can go to the "Schedule" tab and schedule future meeting, however Outlook picks it up as @webex:space.  So does this mean the they are the same? Was @meet used when there was Webex Teams and now changed to @webex:space after the roll out of Webex unified app?

To add to Wade's good post above, the amount of participant in a space backed meeting is the same regardless of the ways you have booked them, but they do depend some on the license of the space in questions sponsor. This can be checked by going to the space in question and looking at the bottom of the screen for a note about this...

(Just adding for clarity)

[Wade H. · Accepted solution]

They are essentially the same. @meet and @webex are simply shortcuts for the extended commands.

@webex:space = @meet  -> Creates a meeting associated to a Webex space

@webex:myroom = @webex  -> Creates a meeting using the users' personal meeting room

UNLESS an administrator has changed these configurations in Control Hub. In the settings for Hybrid Calendar Service there are options to specify what each of these commands do. The above are the defaults.
