Participants List Displays Multiple Entries for the Same User

Possible Cause    This may occur because the same user signed in to the meeting from multiple devices. For example, a user joins a meeting from home before heading into the office. The same user then joins the meeting using his iPhone while he is in the car then joins the meeting again from his computer when he arrives at the office. If the user forgot to end his previous session before joining through a new device, he will be displayed in the meeting three times.

Solution    Participants should end each session before joining through different devices. Maintaining duplicate sessions for the same user will impact the available capacity of your WebEx system.

Internet Explorer Browser Not Supported

Problem    You are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, which is supposed to be supported. However, you see an error message stating that the browser version is not supported.

Possible Cause    The browser is in Compatibility View mode, which effectively uses Internet Explorer 7 logic.

Solution    Turn off compatibility view mode.

1. Open an Internet Explorer browser window.
2. Select Tools > Compatibility View Settings.
3. Verify the following:
   • The WebEx site is not listed in the list of websites you've added to compatibility view.
   • Display intranet sites in Compatibility View is unchecked.
   • Display all websites in Compatibility View is unchecked.
4. Select Close.

"404 Page Not Found" Error Encountered

Problem    You see a "404 page not found" error or you encounter connection problems when signing in or joining meetings from your device running Microsoft Windows.

Solution    Use the following checklist to make sure your device is properly set up to send and receive data:

• Check your network connection.
• Try using a different computer.
• Use a supported browser. Ensure that the version of Internet Explorer on your computer is 8 or later, even if you don't intend to use IE for Cisco WebEx Meetings.
• Turn on TLS 1.0, TLS 1.2, and SSL 3.0 by accessing the Control Panel > Internet Options. Select the Advanced tab. A list of checkboxes displays. Scroll the list to locate the Security group. Under Security, make sure that the TLS 1.0, TLS 1.2, and SSL 3.0 checkboxes are checked.

Cannot Start or Join Meeting

Possible Cause    You are using Firefox 27 or later or Chrome 32 or later and require the Cisco WebEx Meetings plug-in.

Solution    If you see a prompt to install a Cisco WebEx plug-in, select Download and follow the instructions to install the required plug-in.

Note

After installing the plug-in, you may need to enable it. If you are using Chrome, select the plug-in icon that displays on the top right of your page, check the Always allow plug-ins... option and select Done. If you are using Firefox, select the plug-in icon that displays at the beginning of your URL (before https:) and select Allow and Remember. If the meeting doesn't start automatically, refresh the page.

Possible Cause    If you are using a browser other than Firefox or Chrome, you may not have Java installed on your computer.

Solution    Go to http:/​/​www.java.com to install Java 1.6.034 or above or Java 1.7.06 or above.

• You do not have Internet Explorer (IE) 8 or 9 installed on your computer. The latest version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer must be 8 or above, whether or not you intend to use IE to join a WebEx meeting.
• Your systems administrator has turned on an encryption mode, and your browser is not set up to process the encrypted data.

Solution    Set up your browser appropriately. Go to Control Panel > Internet Options, select the Advanced tab, and then ensure that TLS 1.0, TLS 1.2, and SSL 3.0 are checked. For details, see "404 Page Not Found" Error Encountered.

Possible Cause    You are using Internet Explorer with Google Chrome Frame.

Solution    Internet Explorer with Google Chrome Frame is not supported. Use a different browser that has been tested to work with this release of Cisco WebEx Meetings Server. You can find the list of tested browsers in the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server FAQs here: http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​US/​products/​ps12732/​products_​user_​guide_​list.html.

Possible Cause    If you see the message, "Java is not working" while trying to join a WebEx meeting, your Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) needs to be updated to Java SE 7 Update 51 or later.

Solution    On the displayed message dialog, select Click here to determine if Java is installed on your computer. If Java is installed, close the browser and try to join a WebEx meeting again. If Java is not installed on your computer or if the "Java is not working" message displays again, complete the following steps to download the latest version:

1. Solution    On the displayed message dialog, select Download and install Java. This window displays http:/​/​www.java.com/​en/​download/​manual.jsp.
2. Select the download link that is appropriate for your computer.
3. Close your browser.
4. Open a new browser and join a WebEx meeting.

Possible Cause    If a security warning message displays when you attempt to join a WebEx meeting, add the WebEx site URL to the exception site list on the Java Security page.

Solution    To add the WebEx site URL to the exception site list on the Java Security page:

1. Solution    Select Start > Control Panel > Java
2. On the Java Control Panel window, select Security.
3. Select Edit Site List.
4. In the Exception Site List section, enter the WebEx site URL and select OK.
5. Close your browser.
6. Open a new browser and join a WebEx meeting.

SSO Does Not Work with iOS Devices

Problem    Single Sign-On is not working with your iOS device.

Possible Cause    There is a known issue with Apple iOS 6.x, where Single Sign-On (SSO) does not work for internal users of iPad/iPhone who are using the Safari 6 web browser. This is due to an Apple defect that is fixed in iOS 7. The Safari bug ID is 13484525.

Solution    Use a different web browser. This release of Cisco WebEx Meetings Server has been tested to work with Firefox 10 - 25 and Chrome 23 - 31 on the Mac operating system.

Meeting Client Does Not Load

Problem    I can't join a meeting because the meeting client does not load.

Possible Cause    You are using Firefox or Chrome and require the Cisco WebEx Meetings plug-in.

Solution    If you see a prompt to install a Cisco WebEx plug-in, select Download and follow the instructions to install the required plug-in.

Note

After installing the plug-in, you may need to enable it. If you are using Chrome, select the plug-in icon that displays on the top right of your page, check the Always allow plug-ins... option and select Done. If you are using Firefox, select the plug-in icon that displays at the beginning of your URL (before https:) and select Allow and Remember. If the meeting doesn't start automatically, refresh the page.

   2. For When using this certificate, select Always Trust.
   3. Enter your system account and password information.
   4. Select Save Changes. The icon next to the certificate will change from an x to a +.

Complete the following steps if you are using Internet Explorer on Windows:

1. Open the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server site in your Internet Explorer browser.
2. Select Continue to this website (not recommended).
3. Select the Certificate Error button next to the browser address bar.

   5. In the Security Warning window, select Yes to install the certificate.
   6. Select OK to complete the wizard.
6. Select OK to close the Certificate window.
7. Restart Internet Explorer and reopen the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server site.

Adobe Reader Launches Automatically

Problem    Adobe Reader launches automatically on the host's local computer when a PDF file is shared.

Solution    This is expected behavior. Manually quit Adobe Reader and proceed to share your document.

Error Message: Setup was Unsuccessful

Problem    User attempts to join a meeting from Internet Explorer and receives the error message "Setup was unsuccessful. Please try again."

Possible Cause    There may be an issue with your version of Cisco WebEx Meetings.

Solution    Complete the following workaround:

1. Uninstall the Cisco WebEx Meetings application. In Windows 7, this is done by navigating to Start > All Programs > Control Panel > Programs and Features. This path may differ depending on your operating system.

   Note	You may need administrator privileges to uninstall programs.

2. Delete the "C:\Program Files\WebEx\" folder if it exists.
3. Open a web browser and navigate to your WebEx site.
4. Select the Downloads link in the upper right corner of the page and re-install the Cisco WebEx Meetings application.
5. Try to start or join a meeting again.

If the issue recurs, send the log file and "C:\Program Files\WebEx\ieatgpc.dll" file to your Cisco WebEx support representative.

Cannot Install WebEx Productivity Tools

Possible Cause    Your computer may lack administrative privileges to perform the installation.

Solution    Contact your administrators for more information.

"Remember Me" Function Does Not Work

Problem    I selected Remember Me on the sign-in page, but I still had to reenter my information when signing in the next time.

Possible Cause    Cookies in your browser might be turned off.

Solution    First, ensure that you are using a supported browser. You can find them listed in the FAQs at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​US/​products/​ps12732/​products_​user_​guide_​list.html. Then turn on cookies in your browser. For help in doing so, contact your system administrator.

Cannot Record Meeting

Problem    The Record button is grayed out so I cannot record my WebEx meeting.

• You scheduled the WebEx meeting using an Apple iPhone or iPad.
• The WebEx meeting was started by a person using an Apple iPhone or iPad.

• Continue with your meeting even though it is not being recorded. Video, audio and desktop sharing features will operate properly.
• Ask all participants to leave the WebEx meeting, then cancel the meeting and use your computer to schedule a replacement meeting. Start the new meeting from your computer, then select the Record button to begin recording your meeting.

Note	If you use your computer to schedule and start a WebEx meeting, you can record the meeting even if invitees join the meeting using a mobile device.

Experiencing Audio or Video Issues During Meetings

Problem    You hear constant background noise or buzzing sounds.

Possible Cause    Your device may be experiencing a network bandwidth issue.

Solution    If you are on 3G, try switching to Wi-Fi if it is available.

Problem    You cannot hear the speaker.

Possible Cause    The microphone or speaker setting on your headset may not be properly adjusted.

Solution    If you are using a headset, see Fine-Tuning Your Microphone and Speaker Settings for more information about adjusting your headset settings.

Problem    If you are using video, you see a noticeable delay in the audio.

Possible Cause    Other applications are using a lot of system resources, for example if you are downloading a large file.

Solution    If you are downloading a large file, you may want to cancel the download job and restart it after the meeting.

Problem    A speaker hears an echo of what he is saying.

Possible Cause    If your device has an earpiece, audio may be coming out of the earpiece instead of the speaker.

Solution    Plug in a headset for better audio quality.

Problem    The video for other participants cannot load or freezes.

Possible Cause    Your device may not have adequate memory.

Solution    If you are using a computer, it needs at least 2 GB of RAM.

Problem    You cannot send your video.

Possible Cause    If you cannot send video, another application may be already occupying your device's camera.

Solution    If you have other applications running in the background, you may want to close them.

Problem    You cannot hear audio through your Bluetooth headset.

Possible Cause    Not all Bluetooth headsets are supported, depending on the platform of your mobile device.

Solution    Contact your administrator for help.

Cannot Access Help

Problem    The links for the Help content don't seem to work.

Possible Cause    This may be due to a connection issue.

Solution    Try to open the link from another web browser. If the link still does not open, check whether or not you can visit Internet sites outside your internal network. If your network is restricted to internal sites, contact your administrator to define a customized link for your organization's Cisco WebEx help content.
