Easy to set up
Starting Cisco Webex is easy; no special applications need to be installed for you to join or host meetings. Simply sign in from any computer, or click Join from a meeting invitation email, then join through a video conference call, phone, or by selecting Record Meeting from the menu; after the meeting concludes you will receive an email with a link back to it or visit User Hub’s recordings page and find it there.
If you choose the video conference call option, enter your name, meeting number and password provided in your invitation. Before starting the meeting, you can also adjust any necessary video settings as well as whether or not to greet all attendees when joining.
Add participants during a meeting by clicking on the Add Participants button in the menu. A simple panel opens where you can enter email addresses of those you would like to invite; these individuals will receive an invitation email, with a link for them to join the meeting. You can also cancel meetings from the Meetings page should the need arise; doing so cancels both Calendar and Outlook automatically so no accidental scheduling issues arise.
If you’re hosting a meeting, you can switch the default video camera view by clicking on the Camera button in the menu. Likewise, audio devices can be changed using the list provided. Pull-down menus located on the upper left also provide useful options such as handing over hosting roles or sharing transcripts among hosts.
Easy to use
Webex Meetings is an invaluable tool for businesses that wish to host virtual meetings that simulate in-person ones. Attendees can work collaboratively on documents, spreadsheets or presentations while participating in an online meeting – the host can control what applications attendees can see or use and take advantage of whiteboard functionality so attendees can write or draw during an eventful meeting session.
