The Cisco Webex Meetings integration makes it easy to add a link for your Webex meeting or Personal Room meeting to your message in your team channel in Microsoft Teams. With the Webex tab, you can schedule a Webex meeting and invite channel members so that it appears in their upcoming meetings lists and in their Microsoft Office 365 calendars. One easy-to-use app to call, message, meet and get work done. Transform how you work with Webex. Improve your workstreams and stay connected with a full suite of team collaboration features for calling, messaging, meetings, and integration.

As a communication and collaboration platform, Cisco Webex Teams enables streamlined communication and collaboration across your organization. Using Cisco Webex for your data and assets exchange may expose your sensitive organizational information to external users, for example, in chat rooms where they may also be participating in a conversation with your employees.

Connecting Cisco Webex Teams to Cloud App Security gives you improved insights into your users' activities, provides information protection detections, and enables automated governance controls.

Next steps

Cisco Webex Sign In

The Webex Meetings desktop app package includes two parts: the in-meeting app, which allows you to host or participate in meetings, and the pre-meeting app, which resides on your desktop.

You can use the pre-meeting desktop app to join meetings, whether or not you have a Webex account. If you sign in with a host account, you can start meetings instantly, schedule meetings, join your scheduled meetings, add integrations to join meetings from other apps, and detect nearby video devices. If you sign in with an attendee account, you can see and join your upcoming meetings and detect nearby video devices.

If you don't have an account or haven't signed in, you can still use the Webex Meetings desktop app as a guest to see your upcoming meetings, easily join your meetings, and connect to a video device.
