Using WebEx Clients (Deploying the client sensibly)

[Ric_]

Apparantly Microlibrarian do a lot of free training via WebEx but I cannot find an easy way to install the client controls.

 

As far as I can see, an ActiveX control is required and possibly something else.

 

Does anybody know anything about this?

How are you installing the controls? Simply joining a meeting should do it for you! I am sure that it all worked quite easily, and i am on FireFox (thus no ActiveX).

@Martin: Users do not have permission to install ActiveX controls (for obvious reasons) and they do not have access to a different browser since I haven't locked Firefox down suitably yet.

 

@ajbritton: I installed the package that the links suggest but it didn't seem to make any difference :?

Ric,

 

have you managed to get things working?

 

I have looked at my configuration, and IE has a Browser Extension for "Start WebEx MeetMeNow", which for some reason sits in my Firefox plugins folder. I can't see any references to plugins or extensions within Firefox itself though.

 

However, bear in mind that i am configured to actually start a meeting (rather than just join one), so i am not sure exactly what gets downloaded when you simply connect.

 

Regards,

 

Martin
