The Meetings web app is available on Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari 7 and later. For the best experience (including video support), we recommend using Chrome or Firefox.

Joining or starting meetings (or webinars as a panelist) from a video device is supported.

The current version supports the following functionality on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook:

  • Easily start and join meetings without installing a plug-in.

  • Controls are simple and intuitive:

    • View the list of meeting participants and see which one is the active speaker.

    • View which participant is sharing content and can view that shared content.

    • Zoom in and out of the shared content view and view shared content in full screen.

    • The Recording icon appears when the meeting is being recorded.

    • Receive video content in speeds up to 4K.

  • Your site settings may prevent unauthenticated users from entering unlocked Personal Rooms unless the host admits them. If so, when the room is unlocked, attendees who have not signed in are admitted to the lobby. The host sees a list of who is waiting and can choose who to admit.

  • Integrated audio and video:

    Connect to audio from any Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari, browser (77.0.235.20 and later) on desktop or mobile.

    • Set your default audio and video connection types when you first join a meeting. Your previous settings are remembered until you switch to another audio connection.

    • The audio and video connection options are displayed together so you can join audio and video at the same time.

    • The Audio Connection dialog box remembers the last audio connection option that you used in a meeting. When you use the Call Me service, it remembers the last phone number you used.

    • Your phone numbers from your Webex preferences appear in the Audio Connection dialog box. You can edit your preference phone numbers in the web app, which are then saved to the Webex server.

    • Connect to audio without pressing 1.

    • Turn teleconference options on or off.

    • Send and receive video (Chrome version 52 and later, Firefox version 45 and later, and Safari version 11 and later only).

    • The video stream can go up to 1080p in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and up to 720p in Safari. The video size, bit rate, and resolution of the video stream depends on network conditions.

    • You can receive a call-back to your video endpoint.

    • Your video endpoint address from your Webex preferences appears in the Call My Video System dialog box. You can edit your preference addresses in the web app, which are then saved to the Webex server.

  • Present and share content:

    • Use the “Start Sharing” button to share your screen.

    • Sharing your entire screen, or a specific application.

    • Content sharing is currently supported in Chrome and Firefox only.

    To enable content sharing in Chrome version 71 or earlier, you must install the Webex and Webex Teams Content Sharing extension. This is not required in Chrome version 72 or later.

  • Host functionality:

    • Start and end meetings.

    • Start and stop recordings using the “Recorder” button.

    • Use the Participants menu to transfer the host role or presenter role, mute and unmute attendees, or expel users.

    • Mute each participant as they join the meeting to prevent noise and disruption. Participants can unmute or mute themselves during the meeting or webinar if you allow them to.
