== 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].
 
== Using the Webex App (Desktop) ==
 
=== Installation ===
The full application is available through the [https://itwiki.wpunj.edu/index.php/University_Software Software Center] on University imaged machines. <br>
For personal machines, go to https://www.webex.com/downloads.html to install full application for your platform.<br>
 
After installing, you will need to sign in to the application:
#Select '''Sign in'''
#Enter your '''full WPU email address'''
#Sign in again with '''WPU login''' and '''Duo authentication'''.
 
=== Interface Overview ===
 
[[File:WebexUI 1.png|750px|none|Webex App User Interface]]
 
 
'''Help'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">On Windows and Mac, you'll see Help  at the bottom of your spaces list, which links you to Cisco help documentation.</div>
'''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. Messages appear by default, but your teams, calls, and meetings are just a click away. When you have unread messages in your spaces or teams, you'll see counters next to Messaging  and Teams .</div>
 
'''Profile and Preferences'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">In the app header click your profile to update your picture or name, access your settings and preferences, and set your availability. If you have some important work to finish or are on a call, let people know that you don't want to be disturbed: whether that's for a few minutes or an entire day is up to you.</div>
 
'''Status'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">In the app header click Set a status , select a status from the list or create and share any status you want, so your colleagues know what you're up to.</div>
 
'''Search'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">In the app header, just click  Search, meet, and call to search through the history of your conversations to find people you're talking to, spaces you're in, messages you received, and files you need.</div>
 
'''Filters'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">Click  to see the available filters. Then, select a filter to show just the messages or spaces you want to see.</div>
 
'''Start a Conversation, Make a Call, or Add a Contact'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">In the app header, click , and select Send a direct message to create a direct message space between you and just one other person, or select Create a Space to start a group conversation. You can also select Make a call , or select Add a contact.</div>
 
'''Devices'''
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:700px">In the app header on Windows and Mac, you can connect automatically with Webex devices from the Connect to a Device menu. When connected, you can share your screen, start a call, or open a space (on Webex Board). You can also connect to your desk phone from the menu to make calls and join meetings.

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
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
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 HelpDesk.

Using the Webex App (Desktop)

Installation

For personal machines, go to https://www.webex.com/downloads.html to install full application for your platform.

After installing, you will need to sign in to the application:

  1. Select Sign in
  2. Enter your full WPU email address
  3. Sign in again with WPU login and Duo authentication.

Interface Overview

Webex App User Interface


Help

On Windows and Mac, you'll see Help at the bottom of your spaces list, which links you to Cisco help documentation.

Spaces

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.

Navigation Menu

Switch easily among your message, team, call, and meeting views. Messages appear by default, but your teams, calls, and meetings are just a click away. When you have unread messages in your spaces or teams, you'll see counters next to Messaging and Teams .

Profile and Preferences

In the app header click your profile to update your picture or name, access your settings and preferences, and set your availability. If you have some important work to finish or are on a call, let people know that you don't want to be disturbed: whether that's for a few minutes or an entire day is up to you.

Status

In the app header click Set a status , select a status from the list or create and share any status you want, so your colleagues know what you're up to.

Search

In the app header, just click Search, meet, and call to search through the history of your conversations to find people you're talking to, spaces you're in, messages you received, and files you need.

Filters

Click to see the available filters. Then, select a filter to show just the messages or spaces you want to see.

Start a Conversation, Make a Call, or Add a Contact

In the app header, click , and select Send a direct message to create a direct message space between you and just one other person, or select Create a Space to start a group conversation. You can also select Make a call , or select Add a contact.

Devices

In the app header on Windows and Mac, you can connect automatically with Webex devices from the Connect to a Device menu. When connected, you can share your screen, start a call, or open a space (on Webex Board). You can also connect to your desk phone from the menu to make calls and join meetings. If you have a lot of devices close by, you can set certain devices to not automatically connect.

Activities

Whenever you're in a space, click the activity menu tabs to get access to all the different activities you can do:

Messages — Messages are where you chat with colleagues. We keep these messages secure so you can feel confident sharing your work ideas in Webex.

People — see who's in the space, or if you're a moderator you can add people to the space.

Content — find and see all your shared files, photos, links and whiteboard content.

Schedule — create a meeting from the space or get a list of meetings already scheduled for the space.
