Key Features

WebEx
WebEx can be used from any computer (with a supported web browser) to schedule audio conference calls for small or large groups via the telephone. Participants may call in at a scheduled time or request the WebEx system call an attendee by providing a phone number. You can also join meetings from an iPhone, BlackBerry, or other WiFi- or 3G-enabled mobile device, but cannot use these devices to schedule or host meetings. It is available to faculty, staff, and students.

To login, go to the WebEx login website.
