Click Schedule.

After you create a meeting, it appears in your Upcoming tab, where everyone that is enrolled in the course can see it. From here, you can start, edit, or delete meetings. Editing or deleting a recurring meeting will edit or delete the entire meeting series, as (blue star) recurring meetings cannot be individually edited or deleted.

If there are multiple instructors in one course, you can only start, edit, and delete the meetings that you created. You can't start, edit, or delete meetings that are scheduled by others in the course.

You can view your past meetings in the Completed tab.
