> **Best Practice:** Use a clear title like **Weekly Product Demo** or **Live Class: Module 1** so users instantly understand the meeting purpose.

## Step 3: Configure Meeting Options

Depending on the selected platform, you may see extra options.

Common options may include:

- **Meeting password**
- **Host information**
- **Waiting room**
- **Registration**
- **Recurring meeting**
- **Join before host**
- **Meeting visibility**

Only enable the options you actually need.

---

## Step 4: Publish the Meeting

After adding the required details, click **Publish**.

Once published, the meeting will be saved in:

```
MeetingHub → All Meetings → Copy Meeting Shortcode
```

After publishing, copy the meeting shortcode.

It may look similar to this:

## Common First-Time Mistakes

### Wrong Time or Timezone

If the meeting time looks incorrect, check the timezone inside:

```
Settings → General → Timezone
```

Also check the meeting timezone inside MeetingHub.

### Shortcode Not Showing the Meeting

Make sure:

- The shortcode is copied correctly
- The meeting is published
- The meeting ID is valid
- MeetingHub is active
