I'm a Mac user with the desktop apps for:
- Webex
- Microsoft Outlook.
I keep getting the below dialogue flashing every half-hour or so. It appears and then almost immediately disappears - too quick to read or dismiss. I only captured this screenshot by recording a video of all screen activity until it came up again.
This is infuriating, please help me to get rid of this pop-up:
"Webex.app" wants to control "loginwindow.app". Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in "loginwindow.app", and to perform actions within that app.
This lets you schedule a meeting with Outlook.
Don't Allow / OK
This is because of a security/privacy setting on your Mac. It would be best if you could just click OK but since it appears to appear and disappear too quickly, you'll need to check a couple of places to make sure Webex has permissions needed on the Mac and for the Outlook app.
Start by checking that Webex permissions are granted for microphone, camera and accessibility. I found a link on the Western Connecticut University website that has information on how to grant these permissions. https://support.wcsu.edu/?ht_kb=enabling-webex-permissions-for-mac
You also need to review app permissions — select the Apple menu
in the sidebar, then click Accessibility on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
Turn permission on or off for any app in the list. If you don’t see the app you want to grant permissions for, click the Add button at the bottom of the list of apps, search for the app, select it, then click Open. I'm not familiar with Macs specifically so this will get you started. If this helps you to resolve the problem, please mark it as a solution. If not, another community member that is more familiar with Macs, should be able to help with additional information.
