Accessing the Meeting Space

Access all your Webex Meetings from Canvas. Once in your Canvas Course, you should see the following screen:

If, after you selected the Join button, you see the screen below, the creator of your meeting (typically your professor) has not joined and activated the meeting yet. Even though the bar is loading, you will not be able to enter the meeting. You will need to close the tab and try to join the meeting again in a couple of minutes.

Important Tips 

• Make sure you are accessing all meetings through the app – Always choose the option to “Open the Desktop App”
