Platform: Webex desktop app, Webex web app

Your Webex Personal Room is your own virtual conference space that you can use for meetings at any time.

Install the Webex app

The Webex Meetings Desktop application is recommended for the best meeting experience. The Webex Meetings application is the only supported Webex client at this time.

  1. Log in to Webex using your firstname.lastname@wmich.edu email address. You will be redirected to the WMU Login to complete authentication.
  2. Click Download on the left, and then download the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App. If you wish to integrate Webex with the Outlook desktop application, we recommend you also download the Cisco Webex Productivity Tools at this time as well.
  3. Once downloaded, launch the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App installer and proceed through the installation prompts. If you also downloaded the Cisco Webex Productivity Tools, you may install that software after the Webex Meetings Desktop app has been installed.
    • The application does not require administrator privileges to install, but your WMU managed system might. Please contact your LAN manager if you need assistance with departmental software installation.
  4. Once installed, open the Cisco Webex Meetings application.
  5. Sign in using your WMU email address.
