WHAT IS WEBEX?

Not able to meet in person? WebEx is a tool that allows users to host or
participate in video conferencing, online meetings, and screen sharing, with up
to 1,000 participants allowed in a virtual meeting room. Meetings can be joined
in a number of ways via the WebEx desktop, web, and mobile apps.

The Tufts WebEx site allows you to join meetings right from your browser (web
app), however you may be asked to install a browser plugin in order to share
content with other participants.

You also have the option to download a desktop application that can be used
to join meetings without the need to visit the website.

You can choose whether to use the web app or desktop app as your default method
of joining meetings from the Tufts WebEx site's home screen, as described below
in the "Choosing How to Start a Meeting" section. Note that launching the
desktop app from the WebEx site requires a separate plugin.

The Tufts WebEx site also provides access to scheduling tools, meeting
recordings, support, and more.


The Desktop App

What is it?

 * Fully functional Modern View of the WebEx Meeting Center available through an
   application on your computer.
 * Can start or join meetings without visiting the Tufts Webex website.
 * Links to the website's scheduling tool.
 * Can share and annotate content.

To check whether or not the computer that you are using already has the desktop
app installed, search your computer's applications for "WebEx". If it is not
installed, follow the directions below. WebEx should already be installed on
Tufts-owned computers, but if it isn't you may require administrative access to
do so. Contact the help desk at (617) 627-3376 for assistance.

 

Downloading the desktop app:

1. Visit tufts.webex.com.

2. Sign in with your Tufts UTLN (eg. jjumbo01) and password.

3. Click on Download in the left-hand menu.

4. Click the blue Download button.

 

Desktop app interface:

After you log in to the WebEx desktop application, a window similar to the one
depicted below will open. You can use it to easily start and join WebEx
meetings. The layout of the desktop application's user interface is shown below.

1 Launch an instant meeting. By default, instant meetings happen in your
Personal Room. 2 Schedule an upcoming meeting. 3 Enter meeting info (e.g.
Meeting ID number) to join. 4 See a list of your upcoming meetings.

Running the WebEx desktop application on your computer will also add a Webex
icon to your menu bar (Mac) or system tray (PC). Clicking on the icon reveals a
menu of options, as shown below. You can start an instant meeting in your
Personal Room by clicking on Meet Now. You can also “Schedule a WebEx Meeting”,
“Schedule a Personal Room Meeting”, or “Schedule a Personal Conference Meeting”.

 

For more information on the desktop application, check out this article from
Cisco’s Help Center.

The Web App

What is it?

 * Modern View of Meeting Center accessed through your browser.
 * Firefox and Chrome are the most supported browsers.
 * Depending on browser, plugins are sometimes required for content sharing.
 * No annotation of shared content.
 * Only one panel (Participants, Chat, or Notes) viewable at a time.



Accessing the web app:

1. Visit tufts.webex.com.

2. Click on Sign In.

3. Enter your Tufts UTLN (eg. jjumbo01) and password. This will take you to the
WebEx home screen.

4. From the home screen, you can choose to use the WebEx web app for meetings
instead of the desktop app. See the next section on "Choosing How to Start a
Meeting from the Home Screen".



Note: If you plan on sharing presentation content through the web app, you will
be required to install browser plugins. For more information on the browser
plugins, click here. If you are using a Tufts owned computer, it may require you
to have administrative access to download the plugin. Contact the help desk at
(617) 627-3376 for assistance.


Choosing How to Start a Meeting from the Home Screen

Virtual meetings can be started from the tufts.webex.com home screen, with the
option to launch the meeting in either the desktop or web app. This is located
in the My Personal Room section of the home screen. The options are described
below.

 * Use desktop app - This will start a meeting from the desktop app if the
   desktop app and necessary browser plugin are installed.
 * Use web app - This will start a meeting in the browser version of WebEx. Use
   of Chrome or Firefox is recommended.
