Get started with WebEx
Now that you’ve saved your old recordings, it’s time to learn how to use Cisco’s highly versatile Web conferencing tool, WebEx.
WebEx is is composed of three main service lines (and one tool we like to think of as a main service, because it’s that good):
- Meeting Center
- Training Center
- Event Center
- Personal Room
The Meeting Center is designed to work best for departmental meetings, work sessions, and project/product coordination. It’s maximum capacity is 1,000 devices -- but as with all the centers, the capacity will increase or decrease based on how the host sets up the audio conferencing.
The Training Center is great for distance and online learning, online classrooms, and employee or customer training for up to 1,000 participants. It boasts a handful of features for training such as testing, instant grading, and instructor scoring and breakout sessions. Instructors can also monitor the attention of their students, while students still have the agency to raise their hands, ask for help, or even ask the host to go slower/speed up.
The Event Center is ideal for webinars, events and conferences, and employee communications. Invite panelists, answer questions, and send out a post-event survey. Its maximum capacity is 1,000 participants (including the host).
The Personal Room is not a main service, but rather a branch of the Meeting Center. Cisco says it best here: “Your WebEx Personal Room is your own virtual conference space. It's always available, you don’t need to book it, and you always know where to find it.” Unlike the other services, your Personal Room has a permanent URL and is lockable -- meaning, interested parties can’t get in until you let them in. It has the same device capacity as the Meeting Center (1,000 devices).
