Abstract

The invention relates to a method for attending a meeting. The method involves determining the presence of a meeting notice for a meeting in meeting software, where the meeting notice comprises a start time, a end time, a name of an attendee, and information to connect to the meeting. The method also involves obtaining information about the meeting from the meeting notice to populate a meeting template, determining that the meeting is a not-in-person meeting, and populating the meeting template to obtain a meeting record for the meeting. The method also involves connecting over a voice communication channel to the meeting at the start time using the information in the meeting record for the meeting and terminating the meeting at the end time of the meeting.
