Known Issues and Limitations

• Cannot create a Virtual Meeting directly from Gmail. 
• Adding an event with an attached Virtual Meeting and then clicking Undo removes the event from Google Calendar, but it remains in 8x8 Work for Desktop.
• If you want to delete a recurring meeting that has only one instance with a meeting attached when you delete the whole series from Google Calendar, the instance with the meeting attached will remain in the meetings list.
• If the user does not have the required license for 8x8 Meeting, they will see the message, “You are not authorized to perform this operation. Please refer to meeting owner,” when they attempt to create or modify an 8x8 Meeting.
