## Choose participants carefully

Invite the people needed to make the decision or provide missing context. Keep the attendee list focused.

## What to expect

The meeting should appear in the relevant calendars and in Quely's Meetings area. If recording is enabled, Orbit can join and return the recording, transcript, notes, and Lenses to Quely.

## If scheduling fails

* Confirm the calendar connection is active.
* Confirm Quely can see participant availability.
* Check whether the participant is in the Space.
* Try another time or create the meeting from **Meetings** > **New meeting**.
