Join a Webex Event (Classic)

Join an Event

There are multiple ways to join an event. If you are having difficulties joining an event, you can troubleshoot the issues that you are facing. For more information, see Cisco Webex Troubleshooting.

Join from an Email Invitation

Before you begin

If the host requires a registration ID for the event, be sure to keep the registration confirmation email. You will need to enter the ID when joining the event.

1	Select the join link in your email invitation.
2	On the Event Information page, enter your name, email address, and the event password. Select Join Now.

Join from a Webex Site

From the Home page of the Webex site where the event is hosted, enter the 9-digit event number in the text box, enter the password provided in the email invitation, and select Join Now.

If the event has not yet started, the Join Now button appears as dimmed.

You can find the 9-digit event number in your email invitation.

Join an Event from Your Mobile Device

Join through Video Systems

The event host and panelists can always share their video during an event. Up to 200 panelists can share their video during an event.
