# Using the Meetings window {% embed url="" %} ## Overview The Meetings window allows users with the [appropriate](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/world-level-user-permissions) [permissions](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/region-level-user-permissions) to schedule virtual events and publish them for review. Attendees can manage their own calendars and teleport to the venue when it's time to meet, saving staff the hassle of teleporting users individually. {% hint style="info" %} World Owners and World Administrators can [enable and disable parts of the UI](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/ui-customization-options) via the [Dashboard](https://docs.breakroom.tech/building-new-worlds/breakroom-dashboard-tour).
