Webex Best Practices

Here are some best practice recommendations for a successful meeting experience:

• Choose voice over video
  • Keeping your camera on is a best practice. However, if you have internet connectivity issues, focus on maintaining a good audio and sharing experience first.  Turn your video off by clicking the camera icon. Adding a photo to your profile provides an alternative visual.
  • If you are experiencing audio problems, you can access the meeting audio from a telephone. However, “Call Using Computer” uses the internet connection and can take up bandwidth. Instead, use the “I Will Call In” option to dial into the meeting from a cellular or landline phone.
• WiFi
  • Use a wired ethernet connection for the fastest connection.
  • Move closer to the WiFi access point in your home for a stronger connection.
  • For weak WiFi connection: Lower your video quality or turn off your web camera. Also, share your content before the meeting begins.
  • For no Wifi connection: Use the direct dial numbers for your meeting, which you can find in the invite.
• Close unnecessary applications
  • Audio and video compete for the same resources and under pressure will impact the quality of your collaboration experience. Webex Meetings has health indicators at the top right-hand corner (on latest versions of Webex).
• Webex can run outside of VPN
  • Turning off VPN for Webex can lead to a better experience for audio, video, and sharing.
• Keep yourself on Mute
  • If you are not the presenter, keep yourself on mute to avoid unnecessary background noise from interrupting the meeting.
