MSOE IT Support

Getting Started: 

Cisco WebEx is a product for video conferencing, online meetings, screen share, and webinars. While many of these needs are handled by Microsoft Teams, there are some users who prefer Webex and some uses where Webex is the better choice.

This document contains instructions on scheduling WebEx meeting from both Outlook and the web portal.

Scheduling a WebEx Meeting from Outlook

If WebEx add-in is not installed:

Under the “Home” tab in Outlook, click “Get Add-ins”.

Type “Webex” in the search bar, then select “Cisco WebEx Meetings Scheduler”. Click “Add”

Scheduling a WebEx meeting with Outlook add-in:

In the “Home” tab, select “New Items” dropdown and select “Meeting.”
