Joining WebEx Webinars

WebEx is asking me to sign in to access the session

You do not require a WebEx account to join the session. When clicking the link to join, you will simply need to input your name and email address to connect to the discussion. Remember to click on Join webinar to enter the session.

Join the WebEx using your browser

If you are having problems with the WebEx Webinars desktop application, you also have the option to join through your browser. If you choose this option, please use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. To do this, ignore and close out all prompts from WebEx to open WebEx. Eventually, the browser page will load the option: Having trouble with the app? Join from your browser. Click on this to join through your browser instead of the WebEx app.

Using Chat

Click the Chat icon (the speech bubble) in the bottom right of the screen to open the Chat pane.
In the To dropdown, select one of the following:

Everybody, to chat with other participants
All Panelists, to pose a question to the speakers (We'll try to answer as many questions as we can during the session)
Host, to ask about a technical issue

Enter your question, and then click the Send message icon.

Using the polling function

The facilitators will announce when a poll is starting and it should automatically open on the right side of WebEx Webinars. All you need to do is select your answer. IMPORTANT: Be sure to click Submit.
