WebEx is compatible with the latest versions of Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari 7 (or later). We recommend using Chrome.

This is my first time joining a WebEx webinar. Are there any steps that I should take to prepare?
If you’ve never used WebEx before, you can Test WebEx on your computer, smart phone, or tablet well before the start time of the webinar sessions. Use this link: https://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html
There are two ways to use WebEx. 1) Install a browser extension or 2) join from your browser. Below are explanations of both.
- Install a browser extension. WebEx will ask you to install a browser extension or add-in when you join a webinar for the first time on a computer. This extension or add-in is specific to your browser and may appear different from this example which shows Google Chrome.
2) Join WebEx from your browser. If you are not able to download the WebEx extension, then you can “Join from your browser”. With that option you are not downloading anything to your computer, just viewing the information using your browser.
The webinar is opening or running slowly. What should I do?
Close any open applications on your computer except for the browser window in which you’re viewing the webinar.
Can I view a webinar on my smart phone or tablet?
You can access the event via Webex through your smartphone or tablet. However, it is not recommended that you participate using your smartphone.

1. Check the speaker output on your computer or headset to make sure it is not muted. Make sure any headset or microphone jacks or USB connectors are fully inserted into the correct ports on your computer.

Webinar Communication Tips
