How to join a "WebEx"
You can join a Webex video meeting using an installed application on Windows or Mac computers, by web-browser (least secure and not recommended), or from a mobile device. For the best meeting experience, we highly recommend you join from your Windows or Mac computer by installing the WebEx app when promoted to do so.
Note: You can only join a WebEx meeting from the link that comes in the confirmation and reminder e-mails we send after you schedule an online meeting.
Join From Your Windows or Mac Computer (Recommended)
1. If this is your first time using WebEx, please plan to join 5 minutes early to install the app. At the time of your meeting, open the meeting invitation or reminder email and click the green "Join" button (illustration below).
2. If this is your first time joining a Webex meeting on your computer, Webex will automatically prompt you to download the app. Depending on your browser, select Open, Run, or whichever prompt you normally use to install the program.
3. Follow the instructions to enter your email address and other information if requested.
4. You might be asked to enter a password for the meeting. If so, you can find it in the email invitation.
5. On the Webex meeting window, configure the audio and video for the meeting. You can choose whether to use your computer's audio*, dial in with your phone, or even enter your phone number and have Webex call you to establish the audio for the meeting.
* If you are not familiar with the mic and speaker settings of your computer, we recommend you call in using the phone option while using the computer for visual screen sharing only.
6. You can choose to show or hide video (your webcam). We will not be offended if you prefer to leave your video off :-)
7. When you're ready to connect with us, click "Join Meeting."
Join From Mobile Device (Please Use Tablets Only - Do Not Use Phone)
You can join a Webex meeting from your IOS or Android device.
1. Install the Webex app for iOS or the Webex app for Android from the app store / marketplace. We have included direct links to each below.
Note: Cisco offers 2 apps ("Cisco WebEx" and Cisco WebEx Meetings) that will find in a search. Either app will work, however, we recommend the dedicated "meetings" app unless you already use WebEx within your business already.
2. At the time of your meeting, open the meeting invitation or reminder email and click "Join." The Webex app will automatically launch on your tablet and begin the meeting.
3. Choose to show or hide your video. We will not be offended if you prefer to leave your video off :-)
4. When you're ready to join the meeting, tap "Join."
