Webex Meetings

#FFFFFF

What It Is

Webex by Cisco is a platform for video conferencing, online meetings, screen share and webinars. 

Note: Cisco has changed a default security feature to automatically lock a meeting 10 minutes after its scheduled start time. Attendees who attempt to join the meeting once it is locked can still attend but will need to be admitted by the host. Learn how to change this auto-locking meeting feature, help.webex.com
