To attend an online group meeting, you will need just 2 things:
1. Computer with an internet connection.
System Requirements
To use all of the interactive features in a support group meeting, you will need to download and install the WebEx meeting software on your computer. The software automatically downloads the first time you join a meeting. Each time you join a meeting thereafter, WebEx checks for the latest version and automatically updates the software itself.
2. Phone or VOIP for the audio portion of the meeting.
Upon joining a meeting, you will be given the choice to connect to the audio portion of the meeting either by dialing in with a phone or by using your computer's microphone/headset (VOIP).
Connecting using your phone
If using a phone to dial in, you will be provided with the phone number to use. This will be displayed on the Audio Conference window, which appears automatically when you join the meeting. This phone number may be a toll number - you will be responsible for any phone charges you may incur.
Connecting using your computer's microphone (VOIP)
When you use your computer to participate in the audio portion of the meeting, you are using VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). To use VOIP, your computer must have a supported sound card and be connected to the Internet.
For best results, use a computer headset with a high-quality microphone rather than speakers and a microphone.
