Faculty, staff, and students can use Webex, provided through ITS, as a telephone conference bridge, which enables a host to run a meeting, and guests to join a meeting without needing a computer. A computer is still required if you would like to schedule the Meeting and to share the Meeting information. This process uses telephone lines, not the Cisco Webex Meetings smartphone app.

Warning

Note that after the April 15, 2020 security change, all All Personal Rooms will start in a "locked" state.  If the Host is hosting their Personal Room using a phone line (either a landline or cell phone) they will need to dial *5 to unlock the Personal Room once they are in the Meeting to allow others to enter the Meeting. If you schedule the Meeting ahead of time, you will not have to worry about this.
