Hosting and Attending Remote Meetings using
Webex and Zoom

Webex

Webex is a simple, all-in-one solution that lets you meet across desktops, mobile devices, and conference rooms. Webex is free to UC Davis Health faculty, staff and students, and the UC Davis Health Webex instance is approved for use with restricted data.

We've put together a webpage of Webex Resources (Employee Access Only) to help you have a Webex meeting that is (almost) as good as being there. We recommend using a headset (like the one that came with your mobile phone) when using Webex.

Zoom

Zoom is a web-based video conferencing tool with a local, desktop client and a mobile app that allows users to meet online, with or without video.
