Using it internally to employees & externally to customers
- Sharing the slides from my desktop
- Customizing the view of the cameras
- Using the mute all from the host’s
- Recording the session and sending it
- Branding for the event.
- Making the links shorter.
- Branding the registration page.
It is less appropriate when we have a meeting that needs to be branded internally or externally to make the audience have the real feel of the stage and the face-to-face meeting and to highlight whether a brand or a concept of the meeting itself.

WebEx May Be the Pioneer of Videoconference Technology
- Training
- Training - trusted platform for training purposes
- Real-time - remote participants can provide real-time feedback via voice or chat
- Interface - the interface is fairly simple and easy to understand for someone who has never used the platform before. The barrier to entry is relatively low.
- There always seems to be room for video quality improvement (not a necessity, but would be nice)
- Mobile screensharing from iOS/Android (and other mobile) devices would be a great feature
- The mobile app should be able to track meetings a user has been invited to, but does not do so (yet)
WebEx is not really suited for a simple meeting that only requires voice (phone call). It is also not suited if participants need to share a mobile application from a mobile device.

- As with many platforms, it saves money (flight, hotel, other expenses) on having a trainer in person
- It also saves time; instead of waiting a few days for a trainer to arrive on site, we can schedule a training session and have it up and running within a couple of hours or a day
- Because it is a widely used platform, many of the support questions have been addressed in forums online and it is not difficult to find answers to common problems
