Getting Started with Messaging and Collaboration

Webex comes pre-installed on all campus-owned devices. If your campus device does not have Webex, you can install the Webex App from Software Center (PC) or Self-Service (Mac).

For personal devices, simply browse to: https://www.webex.com/downloads.html or you can download the mobile version in Google Play or the App Store.
