Before You Join a Meeting
This section describes some of the things you might experience when you join a meeting.
When a meeting host schedules a meeting or starts an instant meeting by using the Meet Now option, the host and all invitees receive an email invitation with the meetings details. When it's time to join a meeting, invitees select the meeting URL in the email invitation or in an instant message.
The size of your system determines the maximum number of simultaneous users. If the number of users reaches the maximum, you cannot join or start a meeting. If you dial in to a meeting, an audio message plays to inform you that the system is at maximum capacity.
For any meeting, only half of the maximum number of participants can use video. Video is defined as sending or receiving,by using your Webex webcam video or the video file share option.
If you see a prompt to install a Cisco Webex plug-in. Select Download and follow the instructions to install the required plug-in. After installing the plug-in, some browsers require that you enable it. For more information about how to enable plug-ins, see the documentation for your browser.
If the meeting does not start automatically, refresh the page.
If you use the Chrome browser to start a Webex meeting or to play a Webex recording, you might need to add the Cisco Webex extension to your Chrome browser. This is a one-time installation.
