Connect to Webex Audio

Webex Training provides the flexibility to connect audio in multiple ways when audio conferencing is turned on. For more information, see Tips and tricks for using audio with Webex.

After you join the training session, select one of the following:

  • Call Me–Enter a phone number, then select Call Me. You'll receive a call and may be prompted to press 1 to connect.
  • I Will Call In–To choose this option, select the Use Phone drop-down list. Dial the phone number shown on your screen. When prompted, use your phone keypad to enter the access code and the Attendee ID shown on your screen.

     

    Your attendee ID connects your name in the meeting to your audio. If you don’t enter your attendee ID, your audio connection appears as a call-in user in the Participants list, separate from your name, and you can’t control audio from the application.

    If you don't have your attendee ID, press # to wait in the lobby until someone in the meeting lets you in.

  • Call Using Computer–Choose this option to connect to audio using VoIP. To adjust your speaker and microphone settings, select Audio > Speaker/Microphone Audio Test in the menu bar.
