Log On Tips
Sometimes it takes a few moments for WebEx to load, until it does so, you might see a white screen with The Association’s logo or a blank screen that says, “Meeting in Progress.” No worries, you’re in the right place.
If participating in the computer portion of the call, don’t use the call-in phone number. At log-in, the site will ask you for a call back number. Enter the direct line where you want to take the call. Within 30-60 seconds, WebEx will call your phone directly. Sometimes there are several seconds of silence after you answer and before you are put into the conference.
