  • Department accounts are functionally equivalent to NetID accounts.

  • All users will sign in with the same username and password instead of using NetID credentials.

    • Only one (1) user needs to sign into this account to initiate the Meeting. Once the Meeting has begun, all other users should join using their personal (NetID) accountaccounts.

    • If another user signs into the same account and joins the same Meeting, they will take the Host role from the department member that joined before them.

  • Accounts can be used by more than 1 user at a time.

  • There is one (1) Personal Room that is shared and can be accessed by all users. If a second user enters the Personal Room while signed into the shared account, the account name will appear twice in the Participants list and both users will be able to participate.

...

  • You will likely want this address to be your department email address.

  • When you schedule a Meeting, this address will receive a confirmation email.

  • Any address may be used as long as it is not already associated with another department account.

  • This address may be changed at any time by contacting the support below. 

  • If you do not provide an email address, a placeholder (fake) address will be entered instead. This isn't is not a problem per se, but it may confuse the invitee if they try to respond to emailed invites: 

    • Invitees will not know that this email is a placeholder unless they try to send a response to the invite email.

    • If no email address is provided, the placeholder address will be the address that sends invitees the Webex invitation.

    • If an invitee tries to send a response to a Meeting invite that came from a placeholder address, the invitee will receive a notification stating that their response "failed to send," because the placeholder email address does not actually exist.

...

  • Only one (1) user needs to sign into this account to initiate the Meeting. Once the Meeting has begun, all other users may join using their personal (NetID) accountaccounts.

  • If another user signs into the same account and joins the same Meeting, they will automatically become Host.

  • This generic account functions exactly like an account that is tied to a NetID.

  • You may schedule Meetings and use the Personal Room just like you would in your personal Webex account.

  • Recordings will reside in this VTC account rather than your personal, CMR, account.
