Here are some features of the basic meeting workspace:

• Properties of a page can’t be viewed or edited.
• A page can be deleted.

Just add a Web Part to your page:

The following lists and libraries are created by default:

• Objectives
• Attendees

• There’s no document library created like it is using the basic meeting workspace.

All of the meeting workspaces aren’t multilingual user interface (MUI) enabled: SharePoint language settings and regional settings.
