This article is for faculty, students, and staff seeking information regarding modifying the name and link used by others to access your Personal Room, and will provide instructions on how to do so.

Getting Started

  1. If this is a personal account, navigate to s.uconn.edu/webex and use your NetID to sign in.

  2. If this is a department account, navigate to s.uconn.edu/deptwebex and use your given credentials to sign in. If you have since changed your password, be sure to use the new password.

Changing your Display Name, Profile Picture, and Password

  1. Click on Profile in the left hand navigation menu.

  2. Click Edit My Profile. You will then be directed to a page where you can customize your Display Name.

  3. Click on Change profile picture to upload a custom profile picture. Here is an example picture you can use:

  4. If this is a Department account, you may change your password on this screen. If you use your NetID to sign in, you will not see password options.

Changing Your Personal Room Name and Link

  1. Click on the Settings tab in the left hand navigation menu.

  2. Select the My Personal Room tab.

    • The Personal Room name field allows you to personalize the name of your Personal Room.

    • The Personal Room link field allows you to personalize the Join link used to access your Personal Room.

    • Your Host PIN can be used by another user to begin your session and become a Host in your absence.

When changing your Personal Room link, the previous Join link will no longer work. Only one link leads to your Personal Room at any time. Be sure to update your participants with this new link.

If you revert your link to one that you previously used, those who you did not update with the new link will be able to join without issue.
