Overview of Cisco WebEx Meetings

Cisco WebEx Meetings provides you with tools that help you collaborate with your contacts and colleagues efficiently. Here are highlights of what you can do:

  • Select Meet Now to start an instant meeting.
  • Select Schedule to schedule a meeting.
  • Join a meeting from your invitation email message or from the Meetings page on your WebEx site.
  • Select Recordings to find a meeting recording.
  • Use the WebEx Productivity Tools, which lets you schedule, start, and join meetings from Microsoft Outlook and WebEx Assistant, without the need to use your WebEx site. If you haven't downloaded the Productivity Tools when activating your account, you can select Downloads on the top-right portion of your WebEx site and then download it from the page. To ensure the best possible meetings experience, download the latest releases of Java software for your favorite web browser. For further assistance, contact your systems administrator.
  • When you are away from your computer, you can schedule, start, and join meetings on your Apple or Android mobile device. For more information, see the Cisco WebEx for Mobile Devices section in the FAQs at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​US/​partner/​products/​ps12732/​products_​user_​guide_​list.html.
