Faculty, students, and staff can join a personal Webex Room from a Video Conferencing System that is built into a UConn Room by the provided instructions below. Users should ask the host to follow this guide so that they may provide the link to dial from the UConn Room.

  • Unless the host has manually changed their Personal Room name, the link required to dial in and join their personal room will have the format [the host's NetID]@uconn-cmr.webex.com. 

  • To customize the URL for your Personal Room, see Customizing your Webex Profile.

  4. On the Dial Keypad screen, tap on the Letter Keypad button, located below the numbers.
