Webex

Cisco Webex is used at Jade University as a universal software client for telephony, meetings and messages. This combines the functions of Cisco Jabber, Cisco Webex Meetings and Cisco Webex Teams in one software/app. Information and instructions on how to use Webex can be found in the HRZ-Wiki.

Webex also allows guests to join meetings; they simply need to enter their name and email address. To invite guests, you must provide the link to the room and, if necessary, the password. Up to 1,000 participants can take part.

To integrate video conferences with Webex into Moodle, the following steps are required:

• Add the “Webex” activity to the course
• Log in to Webex
• Create “Meetings”

1. Switch to edit mode: select the Edit mode slider in the top right-hand corner

3. Select Webex (select Tab “All”)
4. Enter the “Activity name” (e.g. “Online consultation”) and “save and display”
