The interviewer wants to know what steps you would take to set up a meeting. They don't need a blow-by-blow of the software you would use or the details of the food you would order.

If you've set up meetings before, great! You're ahead of the game. If you haven't, that's ok. Focus on what you would do to make sure the meeting goes smoothly. This could include communicating with and asking questions of the meeting host about who should be invited, how many attendees, if there is a particular conference room they prefer, the duration of the meeting, if they need an agenda drawn up, or if they need a lunch or snacks.

Avoid appearing inexperienced. Even if you've never set up a meeting in your life, you can build on the examples given here.

"I would first ask how many attendees, who they want to invite, the duration of the meeting, if they need lunch or snacks ordered, and if they need me to provide materials such as an agenda, slide deck, or other. I would then determine an appropriate conference room for the meeting and send out invitations via the electronic system the company uses. I would order any additional food/drink and gather the materials the meeting host requested."
