This is what I did.

Installed Webex player on a windows system. Booted to Sabayon Linux
... Used Wine and done. It plays fine.

I am looking for a better solution. Actually it plays on Linux as
well. But you need a Webex account. Have to pay for it after 14 day
trial.

Saw that ... Use a torrent website then. There are a lot of them with
Webex linux rar files. I haven't downloaded because it's huge and
smacks of illegal file-sharing.

Tell me when you're done.

I am asking about running the videos, not downloading them. There is
no need to download the player by the viewer, the webcast relaying
company purchases it & you have to register with them for attending
it.

There are any legal downloads. All major electronics & computing
companies allow free downloads of webcasts.

We use Linux & should be hackers, not crackers.

Didn't get you. Send in some links, would you? So, how are you
supposed to view a webcast?

I said that you do not need an account to attend a webcast. But you
need to use it,as per the blog above, in Linux.

I am looking for another way without using wine.
I hate Windows. :)
I want a solution using Linux & might start working on it. I do not
have the technical expertise to do it on my own. But I intend to start
it, others from the community will review it & modify. The way FOSS
works.

Please do not indulge in piracy. It is making life for honest
hackers(to mean hardcore UNIX & Linux users) life very difficult.

With regards,
Cheers,
