== What is Webex? ==
Webex is Cisco’s video and phone conferencing platform.  It allows individuals to make, receive, and schedule phone calls, video calls, and conferences from any device.  Webex meetings are highly immersive, providing HD video, wireless content sharing and much more. Webex Meetings and Events can have up to 1000 participants. Webex meeting would be more collaborative whereas Webex events are more ideal for presentations and a larger audience.
 
== Changes to Webex - 2021 ==
'''Important information about changes to Webex at WPUNJ:'''
 
''A Unified WebEx App''<br>
By years end, the current WebEx Teams app and WebEx Meetings app will be fully replaced by a single app simply called WebEx.
 
For now, WebEx Meetings will stay in place and anyone with Web Teams should automatically be upgraded to WebEx.
 
''WebEx Calling in Trial''<br>
We are  currently testing WebEx calling in limited trial testing.  WebEx calling turns the WebEx application into a fully featured phone experience, using your WPU extension either on or off campus.
 
For specific information about the calling testing, or if you have questions and concerns, please contact the [https://help.wpunj.edu/ HelpDesk].

'''Spaces'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">Your group work takes place in spaces, either in groups or in direct messages with another person. They display prominently so you can get to them whenever you need to. Your most recently active spaces are at the top. If anyone has added you to a new team or space, you'll see it here too. When someone's posted a new message in the space, you'll see the bolded space name.</div>
'''Navigation Menu'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">Switch easily among your message, team, call, and meeting views.

#Ensure participants are on mute as soon as they enter the meeting so that the main presenter can be uninterrupted upfront. If necessary, the user can unmute themselves at a later time or the meeting host can unmute them. <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:300px">[[File:webex38.PNG | 250px]]</div>

#To avoid users being distracted by other participants, pin the video of the presenter for everyone in the meeting.<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:300px">[[File:webex40.PNG | 300px]]</div>
#In the event a participant is disruptive there are several actions the host can take. These are available by right clicking on the user in the participant panel.
