...
When inviting participants to a recurring meeting, is there any possibility of changing the "added as" field to something different than just "guest"?
Guest means, effectively, “not a committee member”.
What does the "You have a legacy project-dedicated Zoom account which are not represented in the list of meetings displayed below" message means?
Before LFX Meetings, projects could add dedicated Zoom accounts to use for meetings. These are considered legacy accounts which incur a monthly cost billed to the project. This is deprecated in favor of LFX Meetings, and you should only use dedicated Zoom accounts if your project has not yet moved to LFX Meetings.

The following command can be entered via DTMF tones using your phone's dial pad while in a Zoom meeting:

Can I invite a mailing list to a meeting?
As of now, the only way to auto-invite users in meetings is to 1) share the public registration url (if it is a public meeting) or 2) add a committee. Once you add the committee in the setup section, you can invite the committee to the meeting that you are scheduling.
Committees:
When adding a member to a committee, why does the email for the user change to a different email address?
The user has multiple email address on their account. The PCC will always pick the primary address for the user.
As an example, say a user has MO@linuxfoundation.org and MO@hotmail.com. For this scenario, MO@linuxfoundation.org is the default email address for the user in that user's Individual Dashboard (Profile). If you try to add the user into a committee with MO@hotmail.com, the system sees that the hotmail address is an alternate email account on the primary account of MO@linuxfoundation.org. In order to change the primary address to the hotmail address, have the user make that the primary email address in their profile. Directions on how to do that are listed here: https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/my-profile/update-profile-information
...
Yes, when scheduling a meeting, under Participants is a section to add a mailing list to the meeting. Please note, this is capped to lists of 200 people or less.
How can I enable mailing lists coming from googlegroups.com when scheduling meetings with the platform?
Google Groups is not yet supported — there is a tab to indicate “coming soon” but it has since been de-prioritized. We’re hoping to add it back in 2024.
Committees:
How can people tell if I'm a committee member for a project

?
Your membership to a committee will be listed on your Individual Dashboard (Profile). Log in to openprofile.dev and you will see your involvement listed under Community Roles.
What happens when I don't see my project role(s) listed on my Individual Dashboard (Profile)?
These are committee roles that are assigned by the PM's in the PCC. Have your Project LF Program Manager add you to a committee. Your Project Manager can also submit a ticket with the Member Support team for assistance.
I want to associate a committee from one project to a subproject's mailing list. Can I do that?
We don’t support cross-project associationassociations. Example - If there was a committee in a parent project but the mailing list was in a subproject, one would have to to move the mailing lists up to parent project or move the committee to the subproject.
