Joining Meetings and Sharing Applications in WebEx 
For non-Boeing users

  A.  Joining the meeting

Note!  You do not need a WebEx host account to join a meeting.  Host accounts are only for Boeing users.

Follow these steps to join the meeting:

  1. Be sure the Boeing meeting host has started the meeting. 
  1. Go to the Boeing - WebEx web site at:  https://boeing.webex.com
  1. Accept any warning messages you may receive, including warnings about site certificates, ActiveX controls and browser security settings.  This will not modify your browser settings or impact operation of your PC.
  1. Click Attend a Meeting and enter the meeting number provided by your meeting host.  Click Join Now.
  1. Enter your name and e-mail address, and the meeting password provided by your meeting host.  Click Ok.
  1. The WebEx Meeting Manager client software will be automatically downloaded to your desktop, if not previously installed. 
    • You can install the WebEx software with standard user Windows privileges.  Administrative privileges are not required to download the WebEx client.
    • The WebEx software is similar to a browser plug-in.  The software will not cause problems when installed on your PC.
  1. Accept any certificate messages or security warning messages you may receive while joining the meeting.  These messages are normal!  
  1. You will be automatically connected to the meeting after the WebEx client software is downloaded to your desktop.

B.  Sharing applications during the meeting

  • To share an application during the meeting, the meeting host must make you the "Presenter".  When you are the "Presenter", a green ball will be displayed next to your name in the Meeting Manager window.  
  • When sharing applications: 
  • In most cases, it's recommended you use either the Share Application or Share Desktop options for sharing applications.  
  • Limit the use of Share Presentation or Document to sharing PowerPoint files.  You can only use Share Presentation or Document with Word documents if you have Windows administrative privileges.  Otherwise, you'll receive an error message when trying to share Word documents.
