What is Webex?
Webex is an online meeting solution that can be used to communicate via audio, video, chat, and document sharing. ITS provides Webex to all faculty and staff to create their own online meetings, to which anyone can be invited. We look forward to finding new and innovative ways online meetings can work in and out of the classroom.
