About Webex
Webex is a desktop conferencing system that allows for live, two-way interaction between participants. The service is compatible with: PC, Mac, iPad, iPhones, and Android, and Windows phones. Its applications are nearly endless: online office hours, emergency class meetings, project work, remotely bringing a guest speaker into your class, thesis defenses, etc.
How do I connect?
To have a Webex account created, please go to njit.webex.com and click on “Sign In” at the upper right corner. Then use your UCID & Password for access. You can create a session and forward the web link to the participants. This can be done by adding the link to Canvas. If you have any difficulties, please contact the IST Service Desk.
What hardware is needed?
At a minimum, the host needs a headset/microphone and ideally should also have a webcam. If a participant doesn’t have any of these, they can still communicate via a text chat option. A wired internet connection always works better than WiFi.
Webex recordings
Webex recordings are automatically uploaded to the Kaltura media repository site (mediaspace.njit.edu) and will be available through the "My Media" in Canvas. If you are not familiar with Kaltura, please reach out to the IST Service Desk.
