How to download Cisco Webex meetings

RudraPratapSingh — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 03:15:09 GMT

Hi everyone! My online classes have just begun after a long summer vacation so I needed to download Cisco Webex Meetings. There are two versions of Cisco Webex available online which are: 'Cisco Webex Meetings'(designed for non business calls like online classes) and the other one as 'Cisco Webex'. The problem which I am facing is that whenever I wish to download Cisco Webex Meetings which is designed for non business meetings, I always end up downloading and installing the other one which I don't want. Can anyone provide me the link of 'Cisco Webex Meetings' which is meant for non buisness calls?

Hi,

Try this link, it will download .msi file called webexapp.msi but when you start the installation it will install Webex meetings:

akamaicdn.webex.com/client/WBXclient-41.5.7-11/webexapp.msi

@RudraPratapSingh
The Download-Page of Webex (https://www.webex.com/downloads.html) looks like this:

The main-download (top) offers the new Webex.
The link at the bottom allows to download "Our previous app, Meetings": Webex Meetings.

I am not aware of any separation like "for business" or "non-business".
The most impacting difference is: do you use a free webex-license to host meetings or a paid host-license.
For participants the meeting experience (= available features) is given by the license-level of the host.

One large issue I have found, when I open a webex meeting that someone else has setup from outside my org.

If I have the new webex open only, it opens in that, but I don't have access to the chat function or if they have polls etc.

But if I have webex meeting open, then it all works without an issue. Seems to be a really dumb design to roll everything into one, but when you are not part of the organisation setting up the meeting you don't have access.
