Using the iPad to Host the Webex Room

Users can run the video conference and whiteboard simultaneously on the iPad. Doing so negates the need for a secondary device. By signing in to the Webex Meetings app on the iPad, you can begin your Meeting/class and then share the iPad's screen. If you choose to do this, ITS recommends that you use the default Notes app on the iPad. Notes is more feature-rich, allowing you to save, undo, and work on multiple pages. AirSketch Free is only required if you need to share the screen onto another device in your house.
