What is Webex Meeting (versus Webex Training)
WebEx Meetings is a virtual conference room software application that is different from WebEx Trainings. To clarify, when we book you on a WebEx session, you will be using TRAINING. We share this information because some clients have hosted events on WebEx, but learned last minute that the version they are using is MEETINGS.
PROS: Meetings is more intuitive than Training. Sharing is straightforward and it does have Gallery View (photo below)
CONS: Meetings does not have Breakouts, Polling or Whiteboard capability which will limits engagement because there are no breakouts, all activities are fishbowl. The Audio quality is as poor as it is in Training.
TRAPS: Participants cannot be renamed the way they can in Zoom. Neither you nor the participant themselves can change their name once they have entered the meeting. IF they have used an “ID” number or something other than their name when they logged in, They need to either leave and log back in using their name, or you will need to create a cheat sheet so you know who they are: ID XYZ = Ray
