Webex Meetings and Webex Teams

Description

This article provides an overview of the Cisco Webex Meetings and Teams tools. This will cover accessing Webex through the web, desktop software, and through the Learn@UCO (D2L) integration. Additional resources are also provided on using the meetings and teams resources. 

Webex Meetings vs.Teams

Webex Meetings is Cisco Webex's video conferencing solution that offers video, audio, and screen sharing capabilities similar to other web conferencing services such as Zoom and Skype. Webex Teams takes meetings to the next level allowing for team collaboration through meetings, chat messaging, file and screen sharing, and whiteboarding. Webex Meetings can be used through the Teams interface or used on its own through a separate application. 

OIT recommends using WebexTeams for collaboration purposes between instructors and students at this time.

Learn@UCO (D2L) Integration

Webex is fully integrated within the Learn@UCO (D2L) environment that allows instructors to create Webex meetings and team spaces from their D2L courses. These resources are then available to anyone currently enrolled in the D2L course shell including students. Additionally, students will have access to create their own Webex meeting spaces to initiate group collaboration and communication with their peers without the need for an instructor intermediary. Learn more about using Webex within Learn@UCO (D2L) in the knowledge base article. 

Accessing Your Webex Account

There are three ways to access your Webex account and begin creating meetings, teams, and spaces; online through the web interface, using the desktop client on your computer, or through Learn@UCO (D2L) integration. Additionally, you can use the mobile app Webex Meet to create, manage, and join meetings.
