Webex Meetings app to be discontinued
Webex app to replace Webex Meetings in July
This Thursday, July 15th, Webex will discontinue their Webex Meetings application. This is being done to promote migration to their newer application, Webex (formerly Webex Teams). Users may transition to the Webex application at any time. DoIT encourages anyone running the Webex Meetings application to upgrade before the scheduled July 15th date.
Beginning on July 15th anyone running the Webex Meetings app will be prompted with an option to automatically install Webex and uninstall the old application. Users will be forced to complete the upgrade the next time they log out.
Alternatively you can upgrade now, we have a helpful FAQ to guide you through the process. Once you've installed Webex, you can uninstall Webex Meetings, and that's it!
The Webex app offers all the same meeting capabilities and features that you are familiar with in the Meetings app but includes other helpful features including asynchronous chat/messaging and the optional integration of your campus phone number for inbound and outbound calling.
If you are already using the Webex app for your virtual meetings no action is required. If you have any questions or need support transitioning from Webex Meetings please contact our Technology Support Center.
