WebEx for Meetings

In addition to messaging, you can use WebEx for video meetings where you can screen share, message, and even remotely control someone’s screen for remote support. Another feature included in WebEx is unlimited meeting recordings. You can record online classes or meetings, and then share a link to the recording with participants. You can even limit how long participants will have access to the recordings. To access your WebEx recordings, go to this link and login with you’re A-State credentials:

WebEx Calling

There are two types of calling available in WebEx:

1. WebEx calls – You can use your WebEx client to make voice and video calls to other WebEx users. This is very similar to a Skype call, you only need to know the users email address. To make a WebEx call, click on the phone icon on the left of the screen. In the box above the number pad, enter the email address of the person you would like to call. Remember, this only works when calling someone that is using WebEx.

2. Traditional phone calls – WebEx can be used as a softphone which means you can place and receive telephone calls using your WebEx client. WebEx uses the same extension as your desk phone, even when using WebEx on your mobile device. This is great for people working remotely. This feature isn’t available natively in WebEx and will need to be setup. Please contact I.T. Services for more info or to get calling setup on your WebEx account.
