How to join us...
-
Check requirements
You'll need the following:
-
A telephone that can receive calls directly (no extensions) or a phone that can call a U.S. toll-free number or one of these global call-in numbers.
- A computer and browser meeting the requirements on this page .
- Sign in and install the chat application
- Visit this URL.
- Sign
in with your name and e-mail address. Neither we nor WebEx will
contact you using this information. Your name, however, will show up
in the chat room.
- You'll be asked to install a small program from
WebEx, which runs the chat software in your browser. It should take
less than two minutes to install.
- Join the call so you can hear us :)
You have two choices: you can either have WebEx call you (the default) or call us (toll-free from most places).
- Option 1 - Have WebEx call you: When the chat application loads, a window will pop up asking you to enter your phone number. A moment after you do so, WebEx will call you and ask you to press '1' to be connected, and then you'll be all set.
- Option 2 - Call in: Hit cancel on the window asking for your phone number. Then dial 1-866-469-3239
from the U.S. and Canada or use one of the global call-in numbers and enter this meeting number when prompted: 573 630 075.
