Guide to Start Scheduling a Webex Meeting

Webex Outlook Plugin Download

  • Open your Outlook Desktop Client and navigate to your calendar.
  • Navigate to the Cisco Webex button on your menu bar (If you don't see the Cisco Webex icon, expand your window view and look to the far right as it will most likely be the last icon on your menu bar).
    • Note - Make sure you choose the furthest Cisco Webex icon if you see two Cisco Webex buttons on your menu bar


  • Click the drop down icon and select Schedule Webex Meeting.

Enter Your Meeting Information:

To: You may enter and send anyone a meeting invitation to join your meeting who has an email address

Subject: Subject of your meeting

Select Date and time.

  • If you wish to have a meeting that meets every Monday of the week, for example, select the Recurrence icon.
You cantype any message you want to your attendees, but you must type above the line that says -'Do not delete or change any of the following text.' When you send the message, Webex will populate the lower part of the email message with the Join Meeting information, below your text, thus completing the 'Meeting Invitation'.
  • If you type below, 'Do not delete or change'... the meeting will not have the Join Meeting Information it needs.

You are now ready Send your Webex Meeting invite.



Available Settings Before Sending the Invite

  • Click on Change Settings next to the Cisco Webex Icon you selected when you started to schedule a Webex Meeting



Designating an Alternate Host

Webex Integration To Outlook

A meeting cannot begin unless a host starts the meeting. If for some reason the host cannot start the meeting, then the meeting cannot take place for anyone unless they have the Host Key. It may be advantageous to designate an alternate host. This can be done where it says Alternate Host under Change Settings. Only a UW Madison Webex Account holder can be selected as an alternate host. They will receive an email saying they have been selected as an alternate host with the host information.

If you do not see the name of the person you'd like to designate as an Alternate Host, then you have not entered their email in the TO field when starting the message. Close out of Change Settings and go back to the To: field and enter their email.

Prevent Attendees from Calling-in to the Toll Number

Another options is to not display the phone number when sending out the meeting invitation so your attendees only join using their computer for audio. To do this, select Change Settings, then select the drop down for Audio Connection. By selecting Use VoIP Only, the phone number will not be displayed and no phone dial in will be enabled for that Webex Meeting.



Updating Attendees or the Date/Time of an already Scheduled Webex Meeting

  • From your calendar, find the scheduled meeting and open the meeting invite.
    • Add or remove the email addresses of the attendees and click Send.
    • You can choose to send to ALL attendees or just the ones you added or deleted.
  • Making changes to the date and time can be accomplished the same way you made changes to the attendees. This change will be sent to ALL attendees.

Please Note:

You can schedule a Webex Meeting to an appointment using the Webex Productivity Tools integration to Microsoft Outlook.

Please be Aware of the Following:

  • Not all the features available for scheduling Webex Meetings on our Webex site are available in the Webex Productivity Tools integrated with Outlook. This includes some of the recurrence patterns. For more info, see Recurrence Pattern Limitation for the Webex Integration to Outlook.

  • The Webex Meeting invitations that you send will have the meeting's start time appear in the time zone that is set on your computer, and may not match the time zone preferences you have set on your Webex site.
